I have a 2 disk system. The original disk has Windows 7. I partitioned
it & added linux, then added another disk. The other day I rebooted for
a new kernel and... black screen, no grub. tried a rescue disk
grub2-install, nada, so I switched disks & booted from the new HD, it
had an old grub installed on it. Now when I try to run grub2-install I get:
grub2-install /dev/sda
/usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: warning: Attempting to install GRUB to a
disk with multiple partition labels.  This is not supported yet..
/usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: warning: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB
can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However,
blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
/usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: error: will not proceed with blocklists.


so, I have my newest fedora on a partition, but the grub menu doesn't
see it, and I can't update it. How do I fix that??
