Description Chris Murphy 2016-02-29 18:33:14 UTC
Description of problem:

Refresh of 20.4, 20.4.1, and 20.4.2 makes section 20.4.3 obsolete.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/22/html/System_Administrators_Guide/sec-Resetting_and_Reinstalling_GRUB_2.html



Actual results:

20.4.3 suggests:

rm /etc/grub.d/*  ## probably not necessary
rm /etc/sysconfig/grub command ## obsolete

On UEFI-based machines, issue the following command as root:
~]# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg   ## stale location, is now fedora not redhat.


Expected results:

Maybe just delete this section. The previous sections are clear.

Additional info:

as per my comment on #1220066, section 20.4.3 is missing grub2-tools. Also /etc/grub.d/ is an interface so 'reviewing contents' might be better advice than 'deleting contents'.  Thanks.

Hello

Section numbers change so lets list the section headings:
20.4 means "Reinstalling GRUB 2"
20.4.1 means "Reinstalling GRUB 2 on BIOS-Based Machines"
20.4.2 means "Reinstalling GRUB 2 on UEFI-Based Machines"
20.4.3 means "Resetting and Reinstalling GRUB 2"

but would not hurt? and the section is about "fixes failures caused by corrupted files and incorrect configuration"

> rm /etc/sysconfig/grub command ## obsolete
that is a symlink:
/etc/sysconfig/grub -> /etc/default/grub
Do you say obsolete because its a symlink?  I will ask for advice my end, I think that was added in case someone had made changes which broke their system.

I thought that was a directory?
