It implements something analogous to this for UEFI systems. With this, a change to how we generate grub2 configuration files (just adding a call), and small amount of userland hacking, we can effectively cause the bootloader to use a large timeout when the previous boot has failed. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
