@synthgal It's been a while since I mucked around with bootloaders and stuff, I keep remembering the older commands for things

@synthgal that's the one I meant, yeah

@synthgal Sorry, that's probably GPT rather than MBR these days

You want the bootloader on the drive you're using rather than in a partition is the long and short of it

@synthgal yeah, /dev/sda rather than /dev/sdaX

You want it in the master boot record of the disk you're booting from

@synthgal cool, if you try /sbin/grub-install /dev/[whatev] again it should hopefully find that file

@synthgal is grub2-efi-modules installed?

@synthgal okay, cool, so you're chrooted in to your centos install? If you're not, then do so

then you'll want to do "/sbin/grub-install /dev/[your hard disk]", your hard disk will be in the form of hda or sda or something similar

After that check that there isn't anything obviously wrong in the /boot/grub/grub.conf file and reboot, that should fix it

@synthgal hang on, rescue mode? I thought you were just doing a reinstall

Okay that changes things substantially, sorry, should have realised that was what was going on

What's the current situation when you boot?

@synthgal yeah, point it at the one with centos in it

@synthgal oh god yeah, nmtui is super useful and good

@squirrel we'd give more but mastodon wouldn't fit the required length of AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

@squirrel @turbodragon not that surprised that it did, concentrating that much awesome in such a small space would have taken its toll on anyone

@squirrel YES! MORE MUSIC FROM THE SQUIRREL!

@synthgal oh yeah, that would indeed be an assumption, yeah

@candle I've certainly been... GENDERWRECKED

A NEW GAME BY @HTHR@cybre.space and @VOID

@synthgal hm, you can probably ignore those, grub only looks for files with a number in front of them IIRC

Probably best to keep to the guide, the one who wrote that knows more than I do about it

@synthgal do it as written

@synthgal oh yeah, that should be fine then

@synthgal looks fine to me assuming you're using redhat or equivalent

@squirrel marauding maplebots shall seek out our enemies and hug them until they're not our enemies any more
