From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616 Description of problem: After I upgraded from FC2 to FC3, grub stopped working. Instead of presenting me with a menu of options from which to choose, it just dumps me in the grub shell. It's obviously getting at least as far as stage 1.5, as it understands the filesystem. From the grub shell, I can just do: configfile /grub/grub.conf and I get the menu I expect, and can boot as normal. I've played around with various grub-install invocations and also with setup directly in grub-shell, but can't convince it to read the config file on boot -- I still have to manually specify it each time. I have grub installed in my boot partition, not in the MBR. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grub-0.95-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the machine 2. Observe lack of menu... Obviosuly, since the inital flaw manifested itself during the upgrade process, I can't reproduce that. Additional info:
I experience exactly the same problem when upgrading from RHEL 3 to RHEL 4
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
The information we've requested above is required in order to review this problem report further and diagnose/fix the issue if it is still present. Since there haven't been any updates to the report in quite a long time now after we've requested additional information, we're assuming the problem is either no longer present in our current OS release, or that there is no longer any interest in tracking the problem. Setting status to "INSUFFICIENT_DATA", however if you still experience this problem after updating to our latest Fedora release and are still interested in Red Hat tracking the issue, and assisting in troubleshooting the problem, please feel free to provide the information requested above, and reopen the report.
