If we go in a backward direction through the noninteractive step network in text mode we want it to pass through to the previous step. -- Vratislav Podzimek

Grub 2 installation on upgrade and "Your embedding area is unusually small."
by Ville-Pekka Vainio 01 Jan '12

01 Jan '12

Hi, I just upgraded a Fedora 14 system to Fedora 16 with Preupgrade. The installation is so old that it still has the small (200 MB?) default /boot partition. Anaconda didn't install Grub 2 at all during the upgrade. It probably tried but failed because when I tried installing Grub 2 manually by booting to the rescue mode of the installation DVD, the error message I got was something like this (copied from a Google search): "/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Your embedding area is unusually small. core.img won't fit in it.. /sbin/grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and its use is discouraged.." After using --force Grub 2 installed successfully and seems to work fine. I admit that I know very little about Grub 2, but could Anaconda use --force when installing Grub 2? If Grub 2 manages to install after all, it'll be better than having a Grub 1 installation which can't boot anything. -- Ville-Pekka Vainio
