I tried it two ways, skipping the bootloader install process in anaconda, then installing grub2 to the install partition with --force after booting from MBR grub 1 hand coded entry. After setting up grub 2 with that grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg script, chainloading was sucessful. I hope I make sense.

Today I've upgraded my Fedora 15 to 16B via yum. Everything seems to be working, but Grub is still on version 0.97, is it necessary to upgrade it Grub2? If so, could someone write me how to do it. Thanks

glennzo: yes, anaconda can install the bootloader to the root partition in Beta (it couldn't in Alpha).

I know the rapid revs are somewhat confusing - that's partly why we used to keep them among a small bunch of people, but that's no fun.

I mean to write up a page that explains the terms and the timeframes at some point. Briefly, for each release point - Alpha, Beta, Final - we do a series of TC and RC builds. The only differences between TCs and RCs are:

* anything that happens before freeze is always a TC (because it can't possibly become the release)
* anything that happens after a freeze may be an RC, but for it to be an RC, it must have fixes for all accepted blocker bugs

but both TCs and RCs are a full set of live and install images, built according to the normal process by release engineering.

sea: I did it for you, you don't. =) your system has a Broadcom adapter. ipw2200 is for a somewhat old Intel wireless adapter generation.

Well TC2 was to be installed smoothly after soem issues during custom partitions.
00xx_root=16684 (failed)
00xx_root=15000 (failed)
00xx_root=9000 (worked)
00xx_home=1000 (worked)

Weird was, when i wanted to make justa a few entries to the partition, it had an app-crash-to-desktop.
When made the many partitions, with only 2 larger than 15gb, (swap and shared home) it worked well.

How do I go about booting with enforcing=0 ?
I was trying the Live CD 64 bit. Will I have to do this every time if I were to install it ?

from F16 Beta RC2 you shouldnt need to user the enforcing=0 at all

SeriousTom · #27 19th September 2011, 05:20 PM

Thanks, that went well and I installed to hard drive but it doesn't work on the installation.
From what I've read I think if I ever get past the login screen, I can go to /boot/grub/grub.conf and add it at the end.
I can use the e key and see different menus at the grub menu but I don't know where to type it.

are gnome shell crashes something to delay the beta? i assume this is not an important criteria as this are RCs, but it is somehow disappointing ...

i thiunk there's a few other bugs out there that could stop the beta from coming out on the 27th. i did see i think AdamW mentioned to i think tflink oin irc what those bugs were but i do not remember those. i think one was a Anaconda one.

i believe these are the current blocker bugs that may block the beta https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Current_Release_Blockers
