There's a lot of disk activity at the end of kernel updates (waking up unused hard-disks even). GRUB fails for some users after random kernel updates: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/450143 Note the less noisy comments where nothing else than the kernel pkgs have been updated prior to a reboot. And if nothing at all in the /sbin/new-kernel-pkg process (including grubby) touches installed pieces of GRUB, then why would GRUB fail prior to stage2? It doesn't even start loading the grub.conf file. -- I must admit I've skimmed over grubby.c without finding reinstall code. But perhaps the bug reports are just plain inaccurate and misleading? -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
