I think this may be what happened. The first time I booted after the
change to grub2 it was OK, but there was a message at the top saying I
could or should do "update-grub--- something or other" to install it in
the boot sector. I did that and then the problem appeared. I'm trying
to find a way back but I fear the worst.
