http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I noticed that after a fedup upgrade /etc/default/grub wasn't updated. I also noticed that a handful of the options have changed a little, but more specifically GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX changed quite a bit. Addition of: $([ -x /usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param ] && /usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param || :) and vconsole.keymap instead of KEYTABLE Is there a preferred process for identifying this and updating it? It seems the file is created by anaconda during initial install. I checked the file against my virtualbox fresh install and made the changes manually, but it seems like there s (HowTos)

I asked this in the F18 development forum shortly before it was archived, so I figured I'd re-ask here again in hopes of some actual conversation.

Getting eth0 back under fc19? 4 days 18 hours ago

grub2 default and boot order 17 weeks 6 days ago

I have two partitions, one M$ and one FC. Right now grub2 lists FC first in the menu and M$ as 3rd, thus FC is the default. I want to make M$ the default; I don't care if M$ stays 3rd on the list, I just want it default.

xen pci passthrow 10 weeks 5 days ago

Hello I am trying to passthrow video card in xen.

I am using xen 4.1 fedora 17 and Nvidia 9400GT

pciback supported by kernel as module

When I pass xen-pciback.hide="(01:00.0)" param to grub I got error in dmesg

Hi folks,   I'm installing a brand new Arch Virtualbox VM and I got stuck trying to install Grub2 with a LVM /boot.   The command:grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --debug /dev/sda   The error:/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: info: Looking for /dev/sda. /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: info: /dev/sda is a parent of /dev/sda. /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: info: /dev/dm-4 i

Upgraded from F17 to F18 just now using : fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp#Network

Command I used:

Code: sudo fedup --network 18 --debuglog fedupdebug.log --instrepo http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/qa/fedup/f18-RC4/x86_64/

Upgrade went smoothly and everything works out the box, but I'm hitting with dependency issues when trying to install new stuff.

Example (when trying to install a

$ sudo grub-install -v grub-install (GRUB) 2.00-7ubuntu11

$ sudo grub-install /dev/sda3 /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: warning: File system `ext2' doesn't support embedding. /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: warning: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.

My desktop PC is dual-boot: Fedora and Ubuntu. Grub2 is "owned" by Ubuntu. In Ubuntu /etc/grub.d I have a 40_custom entry for Fedora. Every time there is a Fedora kernel update, I must edit the 40_custom entry, boot Ubuntu, and run update-grub.

I'm planning to use fedup to upgrade from F17 to F18.

OP, I did just follow WW's suggestion, and successfully upgraded, and rebooted without any issue at all - which should really be no surprise in hindsight, as none of those files should actually be needed for grub to boot properly (AFAIK) - they are all tools for reconfiguring or updating the MBR code (I think!).But in any case, this was the extent of itmv /sbin/grub* /usr/bin/ mv /sbin/instal
