sadly most of my systems didnt work first time either though I am slowly |
| 30 |
working through the issues. |

Did you add the dolvm stuff to /etc/default/grub? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Mine is (one liner): |
| 35 |
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX='memmap=1M\$157M dolvm i915.modeset=1 |
| 36 |
enable_mtrr_cleanup=1 zcache resume=/dev/sdb1' |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Did you get any errors with either of: |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
grub2-install /dev/sda |
| 41 |
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I would also really wish that there was a simple grub and complex grub2 |
| 44 |
for the masochists rather than just torturing everyone :) |
