very strange issue after a dnf upgrade from fc31 to fc32

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



did the upgrade and everything seemed to go just fine with the upgrade,
but after it rebooted and did the actual upgrade the reboot afterwards
resulted in this coming up. No grub boot menu at all?

"fatal error: token too large, exceeds YYLMAX"

Found this in bugzilla and it talked about a problem with a set root line 
in the grub.cfg file??

Booted from a livecd usb flash I had and mounted the boot partition.
Looked at the grub line, and set root line was fine, but found a set 
default_kernelopts= line. 

the original grub.cfg file was 854308 bytes in size???
line had root=UUID-(blkid of root), but then seemed to continue to 
repeat it over and over again.
I shorted it to just have the first one. and deleted the rest of line.
Fixed grub.cfg file was just 6892 bytes in size.
Rebooted, and machine came up fine??

Have no clue what would cause this strange problem, but was lucky to 
find a quick fix. Was about to just do a clean install.

Any ideals. 
I have saved the bad grub.cfg file, but opening it with gedit, shows the 
line as one line, and seems to write over itself??

Seems to be like 13000 of the repeating block ids. 
Sometime it was UUID= and then a few and sometime a lot repeating.
At the very end the last one has the ro rhgb quiet "
