This is a system that was upgraded from F15 to F16 via Yum, how can I do:
- confirm which version of grub was used to boot the system
# file - < /dev/sda
The dash is important -- tells file(1) to read from stdin. Example:
_[/root]_(root@atom)_ # file - < /dev/sda /dev/stdin: x86 boot sector; GRand Unified Bootloader, stage1 version 0x3, boot drive 0x80, 1st sector stage2 0x138800, GRUB version 0.94; partition 1: ID=0x83, active, starthead 32, startsector 2048, 1572864 sectors; partition 2: ID=0x82, starthead 8, startsector 1574912, 1048576 sectors; partition 3: ID=0x83, starthead 77, startsector 2623488, 56002560 sectors, code offset 0x48
- re-install the boot record (MBR?) for the version of grub I'm running
onto a replacement drive?
Take a look at grub2-install or grub-install, depending on what you have installed.
