Yeah, as much as I hate to suggest http://xkcd.com/927/ it seems to apply. I think there should be some file, external to any/all boot loaders, that has the configured boot entries. Kernels, options, other OSes, etc., should all be listed there, and then the end-result boot loader configs (grub.cfg, syslinux.cfg, whatever) should basically be considered files that will be automatically overwritten at will (with maybe a flag in the "global" config to stop that, but then there would not be any updates). If it weren't for UEFI secure boot support, I'd suggest just switching to syslinux by default anyway. GRUB2 just seems to be a mess IMHO. -- Chris Adams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
