F17 must be the only linux distribution in history in which you cannot

I've actually run into this bug, but I found with a little exploration
that it's just a misplacement
of the cursor. If you let the cursor be a line or so below the "linux"
line and hit the "end" key
it will "logically" be the right place, but the cursor isn't in the
right place, and one *can* change
the kernel parameters.
One *cannot* because it crashes as I previously mentioned.
I could live with the fact that you cannot see what you are editing, but
the fact that it crashes when you change anything it the real problem.
grub-2.00-rc1 is in the GNU repo, and it fixes most of the problems.
robatino is tracking
the development and I hope the rc1 gomes in an update soon.
After yumming in the beta6 rpm, don't forget to grub2-install /dev/sd<x>
to actually replace
the grub2 code on the disk.
My understanding is that you do not need to do grub2-install /dev/blah,
that only does the MBR install, the README.Fedora in the source states:
The active boot loader will not be changed when the GRUB 2 package is
updated. A new boot loader can be installed with something like:
grub2-install /dev/sda
Unless I'm misunderstanding this.
