The advantages that I perceive aren't necessarily the ones that are touted on the various grub2 tutorial pages (which seem to be modularity, flexibility, and portability). . booting from an ext4'd /boot (which isn't possible for a non-Fedora-patched grub1) . booting from an lvm'd /boot . rescue mode (if stage 1 - boot.img in the 1st sector - loads but stage 2 - core.img in the next 62 sectors - doesn't load, you can get to the grub menu at the cli with a reduced number of available grub commands) -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
