Whatever you want to "blame" for the problem, it's a fact that there's
an issue which affects most, if not all, 2.6-based Linux distros. You
may be someone who has created many dual-boot systems and have an
arsenal of work-arounds, but there's a lot of Linux-curious people out
there to whom this is new stuff. Adding Linux to a Windows machine
SHOULD be an easy affair, with Linux installing the Grub or Lilo
bootloader, which then offers a choice of OS upon boot-up.
My point here is that people thinking of doing a Windows/Linux
dual-boot need to be aware of this issue, because it CAN leave your
Windows partition unbootable!
