I deleted the 30_os_proxy file. It was giving me duplicate entries.  Below is my /EFI/fedora/grub.cfg. Each disk's efi partition contains a copy. I use efibootmgr to select which disk's /EFI/fedora.grub.cfg  to use when the computer is powered on. Changes made with Fedora's efibootmgr are not pe

Each of my three drives is bootable has its own EFI partition and multiple Linux installations. Each /EFI/fedora/grub.cfg file is manually maintained as it gets overwritten when I update grub, and each Linux installation has its own  /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. The /EFI/fedora/grub.cfg files are all b

Re: grub vs. grub2

Fedora versions. Each version's grub2 gets installed to each Fedora's partition rather than to the MBR. I've since replaced legacy grub  in sda2 with grub2, but updates to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg on sda2 are still done manually. Steven I Usdansky -- users mailing list users@lists.fe

My vote is for one grub to rule them all, each distro's grub goes into / rather than the mbr, and the master grub just chainloads each distro's grub. I had been setting up the master grub to point to /vmlinuz and /initrd in each distro, but that involves updating the appropriate symlinks each time
