Hello,

I'd like to propose tiny correction for the Fedora wiki page about GRUB2 [1].

However I'm not confident enought to edit it prior to any discussions,
so that's why I'm writing here.

In the chapter "Updating GRUB 2 configuration on UEFI systems"
In the section "Install the bootloader files"
I believe, there should be an information added, that the 'grub2-efi'
package *must* match your architecture. So e.g. for x86_64, you want
the 'grub2-efi-x64' package.

By default the 'dnf install grub2-efi' will find 'grub2-efi-ia32'
package which doesn't contain the files you need for boot on x86_64
system, nor pulls the correct package as a dependency.

Also, on once of my old F28 Cinnamon system, I can see, that there are packages:
  $ dnf list installed | grep grub2-efi | awk '{ print $1 }'
  grub2-efi-ia32.x86_64
  grub2-efi-ia32-cdboot.x86_64
  grub2-efi-x64.x86_64
  grub2-efi-x64-cdboot.x86_64

but I believe I only need the 'grub2-efi-x64.x86_64'.
Given that, maybe the anaconda installation should be checked to not
pull uneeded packages?

Correct me, if I'm wrong, thanks.
