Grub2 boots into CLI mode. 34 weeks 6 days ago

I just did a complete reinstall of my laptop installing fedora 17 and windows 7.

I installed Win7 after fedora 17, so i had to boot the live cd, chroot into my fedora install and reinstall grub.

Going through LFS 7.3 and about ready to make it bootable but Fedora's grub is giving me issue.

The plan was to share /boot between LFS and Fedora 18 as I have done in the past (been awhile since I ran LFS - LFS 4.something last time). Hell, I've shared /boot between Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, and LFS.

I had fedora 18 and then I installed windows 8 afterwards. I now cant boot into fedora because grub was replaced by the windows bootloader. I created a f18 live cd and opened a terminal.

I accidentally deleted every thing from grub2 customizer including command line everything now i cannot boot in fedora 17 please help i can only boot into recovery mode and tried following chroot /mnt/sysimage grub2-install /dev/sda grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

but still nothing happens

i had also attached where i get stuck in boot kindly tell me how to completely unistall and

Grub arguments missing on boot 38 weeks 5 days ago

I just got a new ASUS UX32a, and put Fedora 17 on it, and to optimize the power settings, I added the following arguments to etc/default/grub:

Code: pcie_aspm=force drm.vblankoffdelay=1 i915.semaphores=1 Then, I ran the following:

Code: grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg And when I look at /boot/grub2/grub.conf, the new arguments are in there:

Code: # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FI

Grub2 cannot find config file 43 weeks 3 days ago

I recently upgraded my system from Fedora 14 to 16 by http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrad...dora_using_yum . All went quite smoothly except for one very odd problem. As you know this upgrade switches from grub to grub2. I created /boot/grub2/grub2.cfg with grub2-mkconfig and ran grub2-install without encountering any errors but when I restart I am taken to the grub prompt.

Windows 7 not in Grub2 menu 19 weeks 2 days ago

Hi there,

Yesterday I have installed the latest version of Fedora. Fedora works fine, but my windows 7 install is not available on the grub menu.

Hi there!

I'm new to these forums, and new to Fedora in general but very interested in trying it out. Currently I'm multi-booting Windows and Ubuntu, with Ubuntu's GRUB written to MBR as my bootloader.

I installed Fedora from the Fedora 18 i386 installation DVD, and currently I have Fedora installed in an encrypted partition (/) and an unencrypted partition (/boot).

UEFI and Dual Boot 33 weeks 1 day ago

Hi, I got Fedora 17 installed on my PC, using UEFI boot system. So there is Windows too on this computer. And I want to add Archlinux on this. I want to know just one thing : When Fedora is upgrading, it does an operation on some grub file (because I got now 2 entries for Fedora in my grub menu). Which is this operation ? grub2-mkconfig ?
