OK, so before anyone responded, I just masked the relevant versions of grub2 in package.mask. =sys-boot/grub-2.02_beta2-r7 =sys-boot/grub-2.02_beta2-r3 =sys-boot/grub-2.00_p5107-r2 > emerge -n sys-boot/grub:0 and make sure no other grub entries appear in > world I added the generic grub2 to the package.mask sys-boot/grub:2 It's all good now. I'm ignoring grub-static. grub-0.97.r14 seems fine. thx (everyone), James
