I have just installed grub2 in an f13 vbox (built through an f13 live cd install) and it looks to me like that: (1) grub1 is still in control and the mbr is untouched (2) you can just uninstall grub2 because of (1) For the record: Installing grub2 added an entry to the grub1 menu pointing to grub2's stage 1 img in /boot/grub2. The grub boot menu remains grub1's and still defaults to the grub1 entry to boot the most recent kernel. Choosing the grub2 entry fails because there is no grub.cfg. Creating grub.cfg manually fails because gettext is not installed. Installing gettext allows you to run "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg" to create a grub.cfg and be able to chainload grub2 from grub1 (I hope that Fedora will eventually add an "update-grub"/"update-grub2" shell script to run "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg" like Debian/Ubuntu to save us the trouble of creating it). -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
