First I did urpmi --auto-update, which raised grub2 from -16 to -17. The new
grub.cfg generated by grub2-menulst2cfg is identical to the last one it made:
<A HREF="http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Mdv/grub.cfg.05-cldrn-gx27b.txt">http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Mdv/grub.cfg.05-cldrn-gx27b.txt</A>
The two links above are unchanged.
Selecting the first stanza, as before, causes:
"...
doing fast boot
mkdir: cannot create directory '/run': File exists
...
udevd[99]: could not find module by name='e1000'
WARNING: Deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf, ...
...resume device not found (ignoring)
Waiting for device /dev/root to appear...Could not find /dev/root ...
Want me to fall back to /dev/by-id-yada-part21."
The root device is in fact /dev/by-id-yada-part22.

urpme os-prober didn't try to remove grub2 this time. :-)
