GRUB does not grok the new boot info structure that current kernels use
by default.  I saw there was two ways to handle the problem -- teach
GRUB about the new structure, or to compile the kernel with "options
COMPAT_OLDBOOT" (not documented AFAICT).  I chose the latter. ;)

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.  
It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.
