Why this change is needed: With the new default system in BTRF as Defautl for new instalation this procedure needs updated. What this change accomplishes: . Reflect the diferences between rescue a system in a LVM/BTRF file System. . Remove Sequence Number Warninig in a debug-dracut-problems.adoc fix ticket: #316 Note: Please don't push .adoc with Warning Messages is quite anoying

= Restoring the bootloader using the Live disk.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes, especially after a secondary operating systems has been installed,
|
|
the master boot record gets damaged which then prevents the original Linux system
|
|
from booting.
|
|
|
|
If this happens, it is necessary to reinstall *GRUB2* to recreate the original
|
|
settings. The process not only discovers all installed operating systems, but
|
|
usually adds them to the *GRUB2* configuration files, so they will all become
|
|
bootable by *GRUB2*.
|
|
|
|
.Before you start
|
|
|
|
* Get the Fedora Live ISO from link:https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/[getfedora.org].
|
|
|
|
* Prepare a bootable device using the downloaded ISO, either a CD or a USB.
|
|
|
|
.Procedure
|
|
|
|
. Boot the Fedora live system from the bootable device you have created.
|
|
|
|
. Open the terminal.
|
|
|
|
. Examine the partition layout and identify the `boot` and the `root` partition.
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
# fdisk -l
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
== For Default Instalation in LVM.
|
|
|
|
. Create the mount point for the root partition.
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
# mkdir -p /mnt/root
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
If you are using the default Fedora layout, there will be one `/dev/sda1`
|
|
partition that holds the `/boot` directory and one `/dev/mapper/fedora-root`
|
|
that holds the root file system.
|
|
|
|
. Mount the root partition on the mount point.
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
# mount /dev/mapper/fedora-root /mnt/root
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
. Mount the boot partition in the `boot` directory of the filesystem that you have mounted in the previous step.
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/root/boot/
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
== For default Instalation in BTRF
|
|
|
|
. Create the mount point for the root partition.
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
# mkdir -p /mnt/
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
If you are using the default Fedora layout, there will be one `/dev/sda1`
|
|
partition that holds the `/boot` directory and one `/dev/sda2` that holds the root file system.
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
# mount /dev/sda2/ /mnt
|
|
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/root/boot
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: Home Partition is mounted automatically under `/mnt/home`
|
|
|
|
== Continue with the follow Procedure.
|
|
|
|
. Mount system processes and devices into the root filesystem in
|
|
`/mnt/root`.
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
# mount -o bind /dev /mnt/root/dev
|
|
# mount -o bind /proc /mnt/root/proc
|
|
# mount -o bind /sys /mnt/root/sys
|
|
# mount -o bind /run /mnt/root/run
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
. Change your filesystem into the one mounted under `/mnt/root`.
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
# chroot /mnt/root
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
. Regenerate the *GRUB2* configuration file and reinstall the bootloader
|
|
into the MBR, as described in xref:adding-other-operating-systems-grub2[Adding other operating systems to the *GRUB2* menu].
|
|
|
|
. Exit this temporary root filesystem.
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
$ exit
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
. Your bootloader should be now restored. Reboot your computer to boot into your normal system.
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
# systemctl reboot
