Hide Forgot
besides that afer "grub2-install /dev/sda" the test-vm upgraded to F29-devel don't boot at all the dependencies are wrong or why is /usr/bin/pkexec not on the system (no idea which package should contain it) and why does it bail at all after mask "grub-boot-success.service" [root@rawhide ~]# systemctl status grub-boot-success.service ● grub-boot-success.service Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit grub-boot-success.service is masked.)

Hi, It looks like you are describing 2 different issues in a single bug: 1) Updating your grub in the bootsector to grub2 2.02-50.fc29 through grub2-mkinstall leads to an unbootable system, this matches with the Summary text you are using for this bug 2) A set of errors reported in systemctl status / journalctl for the new grub-boot-success.service fil, when the pkexec binary is not availble. I can help with the second issue, but not the first. Please file a new bug for the second issue so that this can be tracked separately. Regards, Hans
that "file a new bug for xyz" attitude all the time simply annoys me i have upgraded a small test-vm, found out grub2 is completly broken and i am not more interested in Fedora 29 at all at this point of time where i need to prepare infractructure for F28 upgrade and have a ton of other work too
and to make it clear: all that "we hide everyting from users" in general annoys me for many years especially when it leads to more useless complexity like this case "hide the boot menu so no noew users ever will learn that for small issues they can just boot the old kernel" the only reason i know many things on a recent Fedora system is that i am long enough here to had the chance face them
(In reply to Harald Reindl from comment #2) > that "file a new bug for xyz" attitude all the time simply annoys me Bugzilla is a bug-tracker, which is intended to help us track bugs/issues, proper tracking is really only possible if there is only 1 bug/issue per bugzilla-bug. As developers we often have to track dozens of issues at the same time, having multiple issues in a single bug really is just not workable. So when we ask you to file a separate bug for a separate issue we are doing so for good reasons and not just for the fun of it. As for the grub-boot-success.service errors these should be fixed once this pull-req makes it into an upcoming grub2 build: https://github.com/rhboot/grub2/pull/31
