It seems to be grub2, since grub-pc v. 1.99-14 and grub2-common are
installed.
Perhaps it´s some problem with the hardware in this laptop that makes it
fail ... like the graphical installer cannot be used because the mouse
doesn´t work in it (Synaptics touchpad). I can´t seem to get the
discrete graphics card to produce any output on the screen, either,
though apparently I can switch between the cards just fine. I might have
to make another thread about that ...
