Short log:
/usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: Warnung: Dateisystem »ext2« unterstützt
keine Einbettungen.
/usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: Warnung: Einbettung ist nicht möglich. GRUB
kann in dieser Konfiguration nur mittels Blocklisten installiert werden.
Blocklisten sind allerdings UNZUVERLÄSSIG und deren Verwendung wird
daher nicht empfohlen..
installation beendet. Keine Fehler aufgetreten.

grub2-install --force --debug /dev/sda3
Attaching Long Log.

Btw, lilo works fine. At least, my GRUB-CFG must be ok, as booting via a
GRUB-CD works fine. Only GRUB seems not being chainloaded.
