Description Adam Williamson 2011-10-04 18:01:38 UTC
pjones wants to create a grub-efi package for EFI installs of F16 which will not conflict with grub2, so once that's done, anaconda should install that package when doing an EFI install. This change will have to be made to ensure EFI systems actually boot, so marking as release critical.

Comment 1 Fedora Update System 2011-10-06 21:20:07 UTC

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2011-10-07 17:34:15 UTC
Discussed at 2011-10-07 blocker review meeting. Accepted as a blocker per criterion "The installer must boot and run on systems using EFI other than Apple Macs". Note the grub2 update mentioned does not fix this bug, that was a mistake.

Discussed at 2011-10-14 blocker review meeting. This will need re-testing with TC1.

Comment 7 Adam Williamson 2011-10-19 22:14:32 UTC
the fix is actually in -9, bodhi's just going nuts. tc1 is fine for testing this.

Comment 8 Adam Williamson 2011-10-21 06:11:12 UTC
after a fresh install of tc2 via EFI, grub-efi is installed, grub2 isn't, system boots. close!

grub2-1.99-10.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
