Most likely it's because you updated previously only sda but in reality you boot from sdb.

OK, it is fixed now.

Again rebooting with Fedora 19 Install DVD and instead of doing 'grub2-install /dev/sda', I did:

grub2-install --recheck /dev/sda

I had done this previously and it had not completed successfully, but this time was a success.

(Also, as I had done before, I repeated the command with /dev/sdb to hit the other pair in the software raid1)

Sorry for the bother - its working now.

I am running Fedora 19 -
Linux 3.9.9-301.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jul 4 15:10:36 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Yesterday I did a 'yum update' and among other things a new kernel was installed. I think it is 3.9.9-302.fc19

On rebooting, I see:

GRUB loading

error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found.
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue> help
Unknown command 'help'

As it seems to be a syntax error within grub, when I do

grub2-install /dev/sda

from the install DVD (rescue mode), I just get the broken grub.

I would like to install either the GRUB from the DVD or the previous GRUB, but haven't been able to accomplish either task - if applicable.

Chances are you have the problem fixed by now. Instructions as to how I might install the fixed grub would be helpful

Thanks much

Bob Gustafson <bobgus>
