[Bug 1220066] New: grub2-install suggestion doesn't distinguish between BIOS and UEFI installs

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1220066 Bug ID: 1220066 Summary: grub2-install suggestion doesn't distinguish between BIOS and UEFI installs Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: system-administrator's-guide Assignee: swadeley(a)redhat.com Reporter: bugzilla(a)colorremedies.com QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org CC: swadeley(a)redhat.com ttps://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/21/html/System_Administrators_... Section 20.4 and 20.4.1 apply only to BIOS computers, not UEFI. On UEFI: 1. grub2-install fails https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1101352 2. If grub2-efi-modules is installed, grub2-install succeeds but then: 2a. This will break UEFI Secure Boot systems because the core.img/grubx64.efi binary that gets created isn't signed and therefore UEFI Secure Boot will reject it. 2b. On UEFI systems without Secure Boot, GRUB behavior is different in a number of ways including that it will no longer look to /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg but rather to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. Two ways to fix the documentation: a.) A side bar that says this section doesn't apply to systems with UEFI firmware (maybe a link to where we give them a hint "how to find out what kind of firmware you have"), and/or that this section is effectively done by 20.4.2 step 3. b.) Reorganize 20.4 into discreet BIOS and UEFI sections. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
