Description of the problem: The problem is Fedora's implementation of GRUB2. It doesn't play nicely at all with any Other OS in a UEFI environment. One must use another distribution to write GRUB. it is possible to install Fedora without writing boot information. That's what one does running other Linux OS and Windows as well because Fedora's GRUB2 fails constantly. It means that one has to dip into the other OS occasionally after updating the kernel in Fedora to re-write GRUB2, since it seems far more reliable that way. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): GRUB2/Fedora25 How reproducible: Always Actual results: Fedora's GRUB2 fails to boot other Linux distros/kernels in GRUB2 list Expected results: Fedora's GRUB2 successfully boots other Linux distros/kernels in GRUB2 list Additional info: http://www.forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=312257
Using another distribution to write GRUB didn't help in this case: http://www.forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=300131 (unresolved since August 2014)
Legacy BIOS boot is somehow affected too: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=312241

This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '25'. 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 25 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.
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
