I also made a typo the first time I did it also. My g4l has nano editor, so it was just typing in the info. I'm planning on doing an full disk image, and then trying the grub2-install command and see if it runs ok, or has some message. Was hoping to get some feedback first, since it will take

I just did a preupgrade from F15 to F16 and fell into this trap, or something similar. From a rescue disk boot (F12 is the latest I had lying around), I can see both grub and grub2 directories in /boot. The grub2 dir looks set up, but when booting grub/grub.conf is accessed, and it points to the
