I am having to chroot into my fedora install due to the last update I ran having removed kernel entries when a new kernel was installed through the update process.
Grubby gave an error that no suitable templates could be found when the kernel was being installed. During the same update my grub somehow got wiped.
So I manually edited grub.conf in the chroot environment and then ran grub-install --recheck /dev/sda14 - I previously had grub installed to the partition rather than the MBR.
This then returns an error
The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
So then I thought I would reinstall grub, hoping that the stage1 issue would be resolved. This raised another problem where the system does nothing for hour plus at the part where it states it is installing grub

I normally chainload my Fedora grub from my Debian's grub. So I decided to edit the Debian grub for the Fedora entry to directly boot Fedora. That worked and I was able to run grub-install without the stage1 error showing up. And chainloading the Fedora grub now works again. At least one issue has been resolved.
