F18 Development

Pretty much exactly what it sounds like it is. This is the place to discuss and assist in the community development of F18, post Alpha.

WARNING: Any pre-release versions, Beta included, are for experienced testers only. Back up all existing data and read all threads in the version Development Forum before attempting an install. Errors can and will likely occur which may include data destruction or inability to boot other partitions on any and possibly all attached hard drives.

While FedoraProject needs and appreciates testers, you must remember to report issues directly to Bugzilla, after checking for pre-existing bugs.

/etc/default/grub after fedup upgrade

I noticed that after a fedup upgrade /etc/default/grub wasn't updated.

I also noticed that a handful of the options have changed a little, but more specifically GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX changed quite a bit. Addition of:
$([ -x /usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param ] && /usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param ||

and vconsole.keymap instead of KEYTABLE

Is there a preferred process for identifying this and updating it? It seems the file is created by anaconda during initial install.

I checked the file against my virtualbox fresh install and made the changes manually, but it seems like there should be a documented process for doing this.

Re: /etc/default/grub after fedup upgrade

I noticed that too. If I am not mistaken, these are the relevant man pages - http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/man...like-scripting

Re: /etc/default/grub after fedup upgrade

The contents of /etc/default/grub though aren't really grub "specific" but rather specific to the boot process of the kernel/initrd grub is using.

I think this:
http://people.redhat.com/harald/dracut.html

is more relevant for explaining WHAT the various kernel parameters do for the dracut initramfs. I used that to confirm that the new command line args made sense but am still wondering if this is the best process or if there is some other mechanism.

I guess what I'm really asking is short of having a fresh install to compare to is there something I'm missing that should communicate these types of changes after an update.
