Greetings,
I tried to upgrade an x86_64 Intel desktop today per the instructions
located here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp#How_Can_I_Upgrade_My_System_with_Fed...
and
having successfully done an i386 Dell laptop recently.
On reboot, there was no "System Upgrade" choice in the GRUB menu.
I reviewed the instructions, which advised rebuilding grub (the
assumption was that the grub was incompatible because it was from
another Linux installation; in my case it was fresh install of F21).
The commands that were issued (from the instructions):
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
grub2-install /dev/sda (replace /dev/sda by any other device you
prefer to boot from) (in my case /dev/sda1)
I rebooted, and I was back in F21.
"grub2-install /dev/sda1" would put the grub loader into the boot
sector of the first partition (possibly your /boot or /
filesystem)--NOT the MBR of the drive.
The machine boots from the MBR of the first drive. That's why you use
"/dev/sda" and not "/dev/sda1" (put the boot on the MBR of the drive,
not the partition).
