As somebody used to often get a knock on the door past midnight in the early 2000’s because some guy in the hostel borked the GRUB setup (very often caused by a Windows dual boot issue); fiddling with /mnt/sysimage and grub-reinstall was the most common rescue operation I used to do (and occasionally still do, but EFI booting has improved the landscape). The challenges were/are, generally: 1. Finding the correct boot partition 2. Invoking the correct magical incantations to reinstall grub 3. With GPT & EFI, recently I faced a fresh (dual boot) install of Fedora 35 didn't boot afterwards; had to force anaconda into inst.gpt mode and install again. 4. A misconfiguration in /etc/fstab causes boot failure Anything that could potentially ease these procedures: helpful nudges/suggestions to the user, ready reference to 'magical incantations' to make (such as pointing to the correct initrd.img...) etc. would be very useful, I think. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
