"grub2-install /dev/sda1" would put the grub loader into the boot
sector of the first partition (possibly your /boot or /
filesystem)--NOT the MBR of the drive.
The machine boots from the MBR of the first drive. That's why you use
"/dev/sda" and not "/dev/sda1" (put the boot on the MBR of the
drive,
not the partition).
Thanks for the quick reply. I repeated the process per your correction.
However, my bootloader reads something like "Linux with Fedup" as the
first choice.
After choosing that there is no system upgrade; rather, the machine
returns to its regular desktop settings
In a terminal window, the following shows up:
root@brill /var/cache/system-upgrade> uname -a
Linux brill 4.0.4-301.fc22.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu May 21 13:10:33 UTC 2015
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Should I restart the fedup process (two hours+ of download for 2751
packages) or are there just a few steps that could be retraced in order to
resume the system upgrade?
Thanks again,
