I did run # grub2-install /dev/sda # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg And on reboot I get the upgrade image. It fails during boot, but I'll file another bug for that. Filed followup bug after this work around as bug 1146140 So, either new-kernel-pkg picked the wrong bootloader config to edit, or grubby couldn't figure out how to edit your grub2/grub.cfg. It's a longstanding grubby bug, but there's nothing I can fix in fedup. I don't suppose you saved a copy of your original config(s) to help with the grubby bug? No I don't have a saved copy. Had I known...... Proposed as a Blocker for 21-beta by Fedora user bochecha using the blocker tracking app because: This violates the following criterion: > For each one of the release-blocking package sets, it must be possible to successfully complete an upgrade from a fully updated installation of the previous stable Fedora release with that package set installed. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_21_Beta_Release_Criteria#Upgrade_requirements Discussed at 2014-10-03 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2014-10-03/f21-blocker-review.2014-10-03-15.58.log.txt . We noted that we have seen multiple reports of a *different* bug in fedup - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1099299 - which occurs later, but so far as we can tell, none of those folks reported hitting this bug. That leads us to infer that this is not a general fedup or grubby bug affecting all folks upgrading from F20 or to F21, but something unique to this reporter's bootloader configuration. On that basis we reject it as a blocker (per the stuff about 'configuration specific' bugs not being blockers). If it turns out that more people are hitting this issue, we can re-consider it. This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. |
