Section number and name:
12.4 Resetting Grub
Describe the issue:
To properly reset the grub configuration, the grub2-common package needs to be included. This is specifically because on EFI systems the /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg file is a stub file linked to the one under /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. If the grub2-common package is not reinstalled, this file is not impacted.
Impact of this issue:
When attempting to reset grub it is not actually fully reset as the section suggests. This can lead to confusion and there is no other known workaround to restore the stub file and link for the impacted file.
Suggestions for improvement:
In step 2 of the procedure for UEFI based machines change this:
- yum reinstall grub2-efi shim grub2-tools
To this:
- yum reinstall grub2-efi shim grub2-tools grub2-common
