Description Paul Whalen 2019-02-19 17:22:14 UTC

Description of problem:
The AArch64 disk images in F30 are not using BLS and no snippets are found in 
/boot/loader/entries

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
grub2-2.02-69.fc30

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot a recent aarch64 rawhide disk image on an SBC or in Qemu
2. No snippets found in /boot/loader/entries

Comment 1 Javier Martinez Canillas 2019-02-20 17:07:22 UTC

The problem was that the grubby-deprecated package was installed when the ARM Tools Add-on was chosen. When grubby-deprecated is installed Anaconda disables BLS support.

That's why it was enabled in some aarch64 installations (i.e: QEMU or APM Mustang) but no in others (i.e: SBC). I've removed grubby-deprecated from the @arm-tools group in fedora-comps so it should work correctly now.

Fixed in Fedora-30-20190224.n.0, thanks Javier!
