Fun with GRUB2, BLS and Multiboot USB

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



People,

LILO and SysLinux were simple and GRUB1 was straightforward - but by the time GRUB2 came around I was long past configuring my own kernels and hacking around at a lower level . . now I think, finally, I need to know more about how GRUB2 - works specifically with Fedoras 38+.

This current interest was prompted when I upgraded my WS from F37 KDE(->Sway) via a beta F38 LiveSway and found that /boot/grub2/grub.cfg did not contain a menuentry for the latest F38!? - much hacking and experimenting followed . .

Now I have a WS with two USB sticks (8G and 32G) and have booted the latest F38 Live Sway (on the 8G) and successfully installed it to the 32G and now my mild OCD is less offended when I boot on the 32G USB I see ALL the old Fedora systems on drives /dev/sd[a-d] ! - I am happy!

So, I have git cloned the grub2 stuff and had a look at it but I am too old now to be digging around in that stuff just at the moment - so, has any Fedora Guru produced a diagram or at least a point list, of what Grub does from turning on the power to the display of the Grub menu on a Fedora machine? - that would be nice as a more-detailed overview than I have been able to find so far - but not so low-down I am amongst the weeds . . that might come later . .

Thanks,

Phil.
