Fedora has been doing > incompatible bootloader changes every few years for as long as I remember Rescue mode? I couldn't find it. All references I could find to a rescue mode date back to 2013 or later. I would have liked a rescue mode because makes it easy to just chroot into your actual system from the livecd. Seems like we've lost something nice if its really been dropped. I wound up solving the problem by using the workstation livecd, mounting the /boot partition, and issuing the grub2-install command. This worked, but the instructions are completely undocumented (searching from Google) as best as I can tell. There are docs for grub but not grub2. There are docs for Ubuntu which has a different boot disk layout but not for Fedora. Following the Ubuntu docs will not work. And speaking of which, seems like they have a disk boot repair iso. No idea how robust it is, but it is something. I am thinking that something could have been put into dnf system-upgrade where it could have warned about the problem or did a workaround. Actually, this could still be put into system-upgrade because not everyone switches first week or two because they are waiting to see what problems people hit before doing it themselves.
