Can you do: grep grub2-install /var/log/anaconda/anaconda.program.log The grub-install command should install grub2 to both sda and sdb on BIOS computers.

Try reinstalling grub with grub2-install --no-floppy option.This should inhibit the inclusion of the GRUB floppy module and then it won't try to read from a non-existent drive (or non-existent floppy in the drive which is why there's a failure to read sectors). > > It seems almost impossible that both would have identical bad sectors.

The real question is why does grub assume hardware from ~3 epochs ago still commonly exists, and requires a distro/user opt-out command rather than either depending on detection or opt in. -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
