The only problem I am aware with grub 2 is that it is messy to configure
by hand, but it worked out of the box last time I used it (I am now using
lilo, so..).
IIRC, when you install it, it does not remove the old one, and the system
first boot on old one, which just chain the boot on the new. So, if it
works, you can then remove the old one, and everything will be fine.
