I tried:
----------
[angelo_user@zorro ~]$ sudo grub2-install /dev/sdb1
/usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: warning: File system ‘ext2’ doesn't support embedding.
/usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: warning: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
/usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: error: will not proceed with blocklists.
--------------------

and also :
[angelo_user@zorro ~]$ sudo grub2-install /dev/sdb2
/usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: error: unable to identify a filesystem in hostdisk//dev/sdb; safety check can't be performed.

Hj,

I arranged differently  the position of the HD(s) installed on my computer and then, because this, Fedora didn't start regularly...

(at  boot I  got only the emergency prompt of GRUB).

I was able to start Fedora using the "disk GRUB 2 for recovery"..

I and after this  tried to install grub back to the MBR..

I tried this operation using the command :

grub2 install /dev/sdc

The command  ls -l /dev/sd*

 give me this output :
er@zorro ~]$ ls -l /dev/sd*
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8,  0 Nov 19 16:49 /dev/sda
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8,  1 Nov 19 16:49 /dev/sda1
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 16 Nov 19 16:49 /dev/sdb
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 17 Nov 19 16:49 /dev/sdb1
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 18 Nov 19 16:49 /dev/sdb2
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 32 Nov 19 16:49 /dev/sdc
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 33 Nov 19 16:49 /dev/sdc1
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 34 Nov 19 16:49 /dev/sdc2
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 37 Nov 19 16:49 /dev/sdc5

I used the command  grub2 install /dev/sdc, thinking fedora is installed on /dev/sdc...

-------------------------
Actually I can start fedora only using the "disk GRUB 2 for recovery" but I would like start the computer regularly....

My ask is : what is the correct value of the parameter /dev/sdX in the command grub2-install

In other words.. how I can know which is the partition where is fedora ?

Thank you for an answer

Regards

Angelo
