Hello, I need help with a GRUB2 issue. Yesterday I did a preupgrade from F15 to F16. I've added a new custom menu entry for grub in /etc/grub.d/40_custom After running grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, I saw that /boot/grub2/grub.cfg was not updated. grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Generating grub.cfg ... Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.1.0-5.fc16.x86_64 Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-3.1.0-5.fc16.x86_64.img No volume groups found Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1 Found Mac OS X on /dev/sda3 Instead /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.new was created, and it did not contain my custom menu entry. What am I doing wrong ? Am I missing a step ? Below you can see the contents of the following files: /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.new and /etc/grub.d/40_custom cat /etc/grub.d/40_custom #!/bin/sh exec tail -n +3 $0 # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the # menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change # the 'exec tail' line above. menuentry "Mac OS X 10.6.8" { set root=(hd0,3) chainloader +1 } cat /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.new # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically
