Greetings, I tried to upgrade an x86_64 Intel desktop today per the instructions located here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp#How_Can_I_Upgrade_My_System_with_FedUp.3F and having successfully done an i386 Dell laptop recently. On reboot, there was no "System Upgrade" choice in the GRUB menu. I reviewed the instructions, which advised rebuilding grub (the assumption was that the grub was incompatible because it was from another Linux installation; in my case it was fresh install of F21). The commands that were issued (from the instructions): grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg grub2-install /dev/sda (replace /dev/sda by any other device you prefer to boot from) (in my case /dev/sda1) I rebooted, and I was back in F21.
"grub2-install /dev/sda1" would put the grub loader into the boot sector of the first partition (possibly your /boot or / filesystem)--NOT the MBR of the drive. The machine boots from the MBR of the first drive. That's why you use "/dev/sda" and not "/dev/sda1" (put the boot on the MBR of the drive, not the partition). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Tempt not the dragons of fate, since thou art crunchy and taste - - good with ketchup. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
