Re: parallel of grub2-mkconfig in older fedora release which has grub and not grub2

It sounds like your "most recent" distro is Fedora - so - re-install grub from Fedora.  Google is your friend.

Hi,
Thanks Todd.
The thing is that now CentOS is installed and it is the current
control and it indeed uses an older grub. So what do you suggest ?
That I will reinstall Ubuntu on Fedora on the current machine so they
will the "current control"? It is quite a hassle as there is no free
partition for it (unless I will resize it); and already there are 3 OS
installed on that machine. I believe there should be another way to do
it with the old grub without installing another OK on the same
machine,

Regards,
Kevin
