First step (chainloaded from grub1): yum install grub2 gettext grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Reboot and choose "GRUB 2" from the grub1 menu to ensure that the chainloading works. The "GRUB 2" entry should load the grub1 equivalent of stage 1.5 but located in "/boot/grub2", which should then load the grub2 menu. If you're satisfied with the boot, you can go to the next stage. Second step ("full" install): grub2-install /dev/sda (I vaguely remember filing a bug report for grub2 to depend on gettext a few months ago.) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
