@squirrel IT'S A SQUIRREL!

@synthgal yeah, that bit is not at all well documented

I found it in a 2015 bug report in redhat's bugzilla and it doesn't seem to be written down anywhere else

@synthgal heh, hey, no problem at all, my brain needed a bit of working today anyway

@synthgal oh yeah, course, that's me remembering old stuff

I think it should be fine with the defaults so try rebooting to see if it's fixed, if not it won't do any damage and we can go from there

@mawr sounds like a good night in to me

@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
