Yes, the file /boot/grub/grub.conf is gone and we need to indicate that
for non uefi boards, it is /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
While fixing up grub for some troubleshooting, perhaps the submenu option can be implemented, taking the linux releases following the first to the recovery / rescue version
Current Linux
submenu 'Additional Fedora entries' {
Previous Linux
Previous Linux
Recovery Linux
} # end submenu
I should not have to do this manually, though the change is trivial.
Hello Is this any help: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/21/html/System_Administrators_Guide/ch-Working_with_the_GRUB_2_Boot_Loader.html Hi Steven, In response to your question, it is not. Please look at the following example
There are several menuentry items.
I want to be able to automatically isolate the first "menuentry without modification but to encapsulate the remaining menu entries ending with the rescue entry. Encapsulate with a submenu, as grub2 does it for other os's later on in the list.
Example
menuentry for current Fedora kernel
submenu 'encapsulate the following' {
menuentry prevous Fedora kernel
menuentry previous to previous Fedora kernel
menuentry Rescue entry
} #end submenu entry
With two lines of text, I clean up a lot of useless screen clutter.
The submenu entries are available by clicking on the displayed submenu title.
Why do I want to do that? I multiboot, Fedora (up to 3 different versions), Centos, Windows, a total of up to 5 distributions.
Grub2 does create a submenu for all the Guest OS's but not the current version. Why not for the first current version?
It may have to be a include a new menu entry somewhere after 30 and before 40.
00_header
10_linux
20_linux_xen
20_ppc_terminfo
30_os-prober
35 " New facility to signal that a submenu entry is desired".
40_custom
41_custom
I hope this clarifies comment 1.
5 disks, each with a full grub2.cfg My menu is almost 25 lines deep. I manually isolate the current kernel and rework the grub.cfg as I described above Result main Fedora xx #1 Submenu "Advanced Features" Guest Fedora xx #2 Submenu "Advanced Features" Guest Fedora xx #3 Submenu "Advanced Features" Guest Fedora xx #4 Submenu "Advanced Features" Guest Fedora xx #5 Submenu "Advanced Features" Otherwise main Fedora xx #1 previous kernel #1 previous kernel #2 previous kernel #3 rescue kernel #4 Guest Fedora xx #2 Submenu "Advanced Features" Guest Fedora xx #3 Submenu "Advanced Features" Guest Fedora xx #4 Submenu "Advanced Features" Guest Fedora xx #5 Submenu "Advanced Features" I'm closing this bug as part of a Bugzilla cleanup effort. The most likely reason is that the bug has been opened either against a component we no longer publish, or against Release Notes for an EOL release. |
