#218 Issue closed: fedora18: grub2-efi cannot find grub.cfg after recovery¶

Labels: bug

On Fedora18 in combination with UEFI booting the location of grub.cfg is not /boot/grub[2], but /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
However, on Ubuntu 12.10 (with UEFI) the location is /boot/grub.grub.cfg, and on OpenSuse 12.3 it is /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Knowing this, finalize/Linux-i386/22_install_grub2.sh will work (saw it in the logs) as on Fedora18 /boot/grub2/ directory does exist, but only contains the themes directory, but not the grub.cfg. Very confusing for everybody...as grub2 drops into the grub prompt...

However, the good news might be in http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/Installation_Guide/ch19s02.html
efibootmgr -c -w -L Fedora -d /dev/sdX -p Y -l \EFI\redhat\grub.efi
I was hoping grub2-efi was clever enough...

finalize/Linux-i386/23_run_efibootmgr.sh was introduced to fix this - needs some more testing before I can close this issue
