Just a brief look, trying to learn a little bit prior to the decision whether I want to keep GRUB2: $ cat /etc/grub.d/41_custom #!/bin/sh cat <<EOF if [ -f \$prefix/custom.cfg ]; then source \$prefix/custom.cfg; fi EOF If I didn't want to append stuff to that file, what might $prefix expand to? Very likely it is not /usr: $ grep prefix /etc/grub.d/* /etc/grub.d/00_header:prefix=/usr /etc/grub.d/00_header:exec_prefix=/usr /etc/grub.d/00_header:if [ -s \$prefix/grubenv ]; then /etc/grub.d/10_linux:prefix=/usr /etc/grub.d/10_linux:exec_prefix=/usr /etc/grub.d/10_linux:export TEXTDOMAINDIR=${prefix}/share/locale /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen:prefix=/usr /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen:exec_prefix=/usr /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen:export TEXTDOMAINDIR=${prefix}/share/locale /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober:prefix=/usr /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober:exec_prefix=/usr /etc/grub.d/41_custom:if [ -f \$prefix/custom.cfg ]; then /etc/grub.d/41_custom: source \$prefix/custom.cfg; Doubtful. These definitions probably are the different prefix=/usr we all know. $ rpm -ql grub2|grep custom.cfg $ $ rpm -ql grub2|grep grubenv $ $ zgrep grubenv /usr/share/info/grub2.info.gz normally lives in `/boot/grub/grubenv' (although you should not assume $ $ zgrep custom.cfg /usr/share/info/grub2.info.gz `/etc/grub.d/40_custom' or creating `/boot/grub/custom.cfg', changing $ Could that be the $prefix? /boot/grub/ instead of /usr/? $ rpmls grub2|grep ^d drwxr-xr-x /boot/grub2 drwxr-xr-x /etc/grub.d drwxr-xr-x /usr/lib/grub drwxr-xr-x /usr/lib/grub2 drwxr-xr-x /usr/lib/grub2/i386-pc drwxr-xr-x /usr/share/doc/grub2-1.99 The package doesn't contain /boot/grub/ but /boot/grub2/ - sigh. We've had years of /etc/grub.conf -> /boot/grub/grub.conf plus additional "menu.lst" symlinks, so users around the world referred to either one out of three (!) possible config file paths. Now the fun is being repeated with grub2... I think that is a bug. /etc/grub.d/40_custom AND /boot/grub2/custom.cfg AND the documentation defaulting to /boot/grub/custom.cfg. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/743964 -- Fedora release 16 (Verne) - Linux 3.1.0-0.rc8.git0.1.fc16.x86_64 loadavg: 0.14 0.10 0.11 -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
