I forgot to say that you have to run "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg" to apply these boot params. Debian and Ubuntu have an "update-grub" script that runs "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" that may also exist upstream but doesn't exist in Fedora. -- 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
