I have looked at the flash afterwards, and there are not grub files placed on the partitions, so it isn't a message that comes up after it has installed the grub2. It seems to completely halt the process of installing. > > There is also a --force option for grub2-install which might > make it go ahead and do the install anyway if it really > was an error. Did try the --force, but still get the same message and nothing is written to the flash directory?? Perhaps it did work with a previous version of grub2-install, but current version on my fully update Fedora 33 machines are doing this. Looked at file to see if maybe it was a script to see if it could be modified, but it is an ELF file.. Prehaps the process on a non-Fedora machine would actually work?? > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
