Hello @javierm,

could you please review my draft for a release note of Changes/UnifyGrubConfig?

Thanks,

@quiet looks good to me. Thanks!

BTW, I think that https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GRUB_2#Create_a_GRUB_2_configuration will need to be updated too.

We should add a warning that /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg is a special stub file that forwards to the real grub.cfg in /boot/grub2/ and it should not be replaced. The proper command to refresh grub.cfg on any firmware type is grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg For making routine changes to boot parameters and default kernel, it is recommended to use the grubby utility.

@pbokoc should i try to take care of that?

Looks good to me; if anyone has anything to add, please open an issue or a PR, or just ping me on IRC.

Merged locally due to conflicts.

@quiet If you want to then go right ahead :) You should have wikiedit permissions. If you don't have permissions, or if you don't have time to fix it on wiki, then ping me and I'll handle it.

I think I will use your ticket issue #352 as a source of instructions on what needs to be done. Because /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg file is only in Fedora 33 and older. Therefore in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GRUB_2#Create_a_GRUB_2_configuration, we would have to produce content specific to Fedora 34, and content specific to older versions.

By issue 352 i meant this:
