F10's grub2 package does not include any "info" manual at all. Fedora's RPM package "grub2" does not contain any scriptlets that would mess with other info manuals. $ rpm -q grub2 grub2-1.98-0.3.20080827svn.fc10.i386 $ rpm -qld grub2|grep info $ rpm -q --scripts grub2|grep info $ Even on Fedora 12, "rpm -qld grub2|grep info" is empty. No info manual. > But > there is not an info file with the grub2 install. Except there is, but you > get it with a pinfo grub after having installed grub2. ?? That's not for GRUB2, however, but for legacy GRUB: $ rpm -qf /usr/share/info/grub.info.gz grub-0.97-38.fc10.i386 $ info -w grub /usr/share/info/grub.info.gz $ > The following entries > in that file (fedora F10 grub2 rpm installed) are link-less, empty: > > * Configuration:: Writing your own configuration file > * Network:: Downloading OS images from a network > * Preset Menu:: Embedding a configuration file into GRUB > * Images:: GRUB image files > * Troubleshooting:: Error messages produced by GRUB > * Invoking the grub shell:: How to use the grub shell > * Invoking grub-terminfo:: How to generate a terminfo command > * Internals:: Hacking GRUB Cannot reproduce. $ rpm -q pinfo grub pinfo-0.6.9-8.fc10.i386 grub-0.97-38.fc10.i386 $ rpm -qld grub|grep /info /usr/share/info/grub.info.gz /usr/share/info/multiboot.info.gz $ rpm -V grub $ > attempting to read any of the above entries gets you a no such file or > directory advisory at the bottom of the window.

Have you messed up your infodir with manual installs? Apply some trouble-shooting skills.
