Putting your /boot as a simple directory under / is never a good idea. I'm sure this is your problem and not problems with grub itself. Depends how many kernels you want to be able to keep at once. As a guide I currently have 3 kernels in my /boot, and its using 20M of space. That means 100M is good for roughly 15 kernels - Usually more than enough for anyone. > > > The fact that you find grub broken only after updates is odd.

Its just users don't often stumble over them so often. Chris -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
