S.  To all:  There was a news item recently about grub updates and reinstalling to the hard drive when updating.  I just synced and there is a new grub update.  Make sure to see if grub updates for you and if so, don't forget to reinstall to the hard drive.  For old BIOS users, usually a grub-install /dev/sda will do.  You EFI folks, you on your own.  Gentoo wiki has the command.  I've never had EFI stuff, yet.  Hope this heads up helps someone.
