http://forums.fedoraforum.org – 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. After i reinstalled grub to mbr and updated grub config via grub2-mkconfig i have the problem that grub2 does not show the menu unless i run "configfile (hd0,msdos1)/grub2/grub.conf" witch starts the menu without problems. So the problem seems to be that grub2 is set to boot into CLI and not read the config file? Anyone know if there is a setting for this and where to change i (HowTos)

Grub2 cannot find config file 43 weeks 5 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.

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

I've installed grub2 because my partition is no longer supported by the legacy grub but I can't make it display a text menu like in the legacy grub? When I start my pc it gives me the CLI where I need to manually load my configfile? Hence my config file is good but how I can start it automatically with grub2?

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.

Okay. I have a brand new Asus laptop. Asus n56vm. It has 1TB of harddisk. My disk was GPT when I bought it. I converted to MBR with windows convert mbr via DISKPART. Then installed Fedora 17 with xfce from DVD.

.... would I be right in running the following commands?

Code: grub2-install ## Then mount all my partitions since I've got 2 other OS's on this computer grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Thanks, JamesNZ

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 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

Hi, always remember to save the output of grub-mkconfig to your /boot/grub/grub.cfg, that doesn't happen automatically. I suppose that is your problem since GRUB2 shows all entries it finds in its config file even if they are garbage e.g. the partition or loader doesn't exist.I have this alias in my .bashrc so I won't ever forget.
