But are non-technical people expected to do this fix? (This is a rhetorical question to all of fedora- devel.) Could dnf system-upgrade detect that it's running on a system that will fail? Could it warn people beforehand or even apply the grub upgrade first? I have to think the issue could be detected before upgrading. d=`mount | awk '$3 == "\/boot" { print $1 }' 2>/dev/null` if [ "x$d" == "x" ] ; then d=`mount | awk '$3 == "\/" { print $1 }' 2>/dev/null` if [ "x$d" == "x" ] ; then echo "Upgrading your grub2 install to a current version cannot be done. You should not proceed with upgrading your system." exit 1 fi grub2-install $s if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then echo "grub2-install encountered an error. You should not proceed with upgrading your system." exit 1 fi fi ... Anyways...following the instruction on that page...when configfile /grub2/grub.cfg.rpmsave is run, it immediately shows me the menu and boot commences as it did. It then says: "execute the grub2-install /dev/X command (where X is the boot device, i.e sda) to update the GRUB core and the module" This is what happens: # mount | grep boot /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel) [root ~]# grub2-install /dev/sda1 Installing for i386-pc platform. grub2-install: warning: File system `ext2' doesn't support embedding. grub2-install: warning: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.. grub2-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists. and rebooting the system now has: grub rescue> Which seems like a big step back from where I was. -Steve _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
