Re: black screen / blinking cursor after grub-install

[J.V.]

How do I tell which version of grub CentOS 6 ships with?

Also is it possible some how to use/install the latest version and get 
that going with CentOS?  I do need specific documentation on how to do 
this if it is available.

Regards,


J.V.
