[NEWS] Fedora 41 is out!

[markr87]

My upgrade from F-40 to F-41 on a bare metal IBM LC912 (aka Boston) went OK, no problems booting after the upgrade. But I spoke with a colleague today and he reminded me some old(er) issues that were related to grub.cfg not being compatible with the parser in petitboot or grub-mkconfig failing to run (depends on petitboot / firmware version). I think that's what we are seeing here. If that's true, then the fix should be to recreate grub.cfg.

I agree in your assessment that it appears to be related to petitboot/grub.cfg.  Is there a help page somewhere that shows the proper way to recreate grub.cfg?

It should be matter of running

Code: [Select]

grub2-mkconfig --output=/boot/grub2/grub.cfgfrom some kind of rescue environment, eg. after booting Fedora installer ISO with the rescue parameter. IIRC there are versions of petitboot that do not support BLS directly and versions that do support it. So knowing the details about the initrd load failure would be useful. The usual "make backups, etc." applies before doing any changes :-)

And the easiest thing should be to check how the boot entry looks like and possibly fix the errors from petitboot by using the "Edit" option.
