Re: Problem after update with grub and --unrestricted on i386

[Michael D. Setzer II]

It is reporting grub 1.99 on the grub boot menu. 
Did a grub2-install /dev/sda and it went thru with no errors, but still shows 
1.99?

Used a bootinfoscript from sourceforge that makes a complete report on the 
boot setup.
