I do not find grub2 complicated, although I've never had a setup with |
| 23 |
LVM or RAID. It's always just been: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
grub-install --recheck /dev/sda |
| 26 |
# cosmetic changes to /etc/default/grub like changing the boot delay |
| 27 |
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
I was raised on grub2, so I guess that probably makes a difference; |
| 30 |
maybe it was difficult when I first started, but I can't remember. |
