Grub2 is not updated / grub2-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)
Hi. Since Kernel 6.8 it looks like grub.conf is not being updated. The files are installed but grub.cfg is not updated.
During installation I see this error: ---- Running scriptlet: kernel-modules-core-6.8.8-200.fc39.x86_64
49/49 Running scriptlet: kernel-core-6.8.8-200.fc39.x86_64

Ok, I think I solved it. I created the entry manually for Kernel 6.8.8 on grub.cfg and rebooted. Once in this kernel, I dnf reinstalled it and everything seems to have worked fine. dnf did not show any error and I had journalctl -f on another terminal and did not see any error either. I am going to chalk this one to some difference between Kernel 6.7 and 6.8. Weird.

sda and sdb are just old drives I have left in place, sometimes I look up info in there. sdc and sdd are my regular system.
I did not mind staying for a while in kernel 6.7.10 because I am using an old nvidia driver (470) but it seems like they solve the problem with kernel 6.8 already so I should be able to start using it normally
I tried to google-fu the answer but I found a lot of references and recipies in ubuntu, gentoo, archlinux that I am not sure if they are applicable to my case.

Did you somehow miss the change to BLS? The entries shouldn't be in grub.cfg. They should be in /boot/loader/entries.
Don' know. I have been dnf upgrading this system almost since Fedora was simple digits. .🤔 I am planning a new build for F40 and definitely clean install it.

There are post-upgrade tasks that should be performed to keep the system tidy. See < https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/#se...
.
In particular, are you taking the maintainer's version of config files during `rpmconf -a`? Or are you keeping old versions?
Jeff
I usually keep the old version. From time to time I do a diff check to see if there is something new and research the change.
