I have a similar issue, but the final few lines say that embedding is required when the root parition is an LVM device (as mine is). I've got a workstation that works, and the first partition starts at block 2048. The laptop where I get the error starts at 63. So I suspect that I am screwed and will not be able to modify my grub2 configuration until I repartition the disk and leave more room at the beginning. I have tried modifying /etc/default/grub and running grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and this has no effect, so I suspect that I am not really running grub2 or that there is a fixed embedded configuration that I can't change. Running grub2-install produces the error about the small embedding area. What does your disk partitioning look like? --Greg -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
