Revert grub2-efi to grub2-bios

Atmchicago · 03-22-2014, 01:02 PM

Hello,
I need to move a Linux install (running Fedora 20) from one computer to another. When I transfer the drive it can't boot. I suspect the reason is that the install is set up as an EFI/Grub2, and the other computer doesn't support this configuration. How do I revert the install to regular BIOS/Grub2?
Thanks.

Could be difficult - see F20_Installation_Guide.

Even just moving the disk to a different piece of hardware can be "interesting" to get working - in your case I might be inclined to just chroot into the disk system and try a grub-install to the disk. Presumes Anaconca installed the full package for grub2 of course ...
