There should be given a direct documentation for a workaround if someone installs it, ends up with this failure, than how to convert older style grub config to grub2. Since LVM and encrypted partitions can make long enough lines in configs not to want to type it down. In my case grub installation can not be succeed and fortunately have the older style configuration file for grub. Now, this is what I'm trying to convert to grub2 version and finally install it from the rescue mode. That rescue-mode which is passed to fedora installation kernel at booting time. Could someone else continue updating this thread and help collecting these information together? edit flag offensive delete link more CommentsDo you mean how to get to rescue mode? http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/17/html/Installation_Guide/s2-x86-bootloader-rescue.htmlFranciscoD_( 2012-09-25 08:45:11 +0000 )edit 0 answered 2012-08-29 03:25:27 +0000 FranciscoD_ 10148 ●55 ●114 ●182 http://ankursinha.in/blog...

I have attempted several times to install (fresh) F17 (dual-booting W7) from both DVD and LiveCD. At the end of every install, I get an error that reads, "The bootloader failed to install. The system may not be bootable." I restart the computer, and Windows boots. There is error installing bootloader no more detail on the error message. I have tried using rescue on the DVD and using chroot to install GRUB (Using Code: grub2-install /dev/sda) .) The output is along the lines of: This LDM doesn't have an embedding partition. Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed on this setup using blocklists. However, blocklists are unreliable and their use is discouraged. I don't know what to do because I am new to this, and I sincerely apologize for the lack of information and knowledge. I appreciate any help.

One thing you can try is to proceed with the "blocklist" thing. It may be discouraged, but it still works. It's discouraged because GRUB 2 will use the core.img in the filesystem instead, but the boot.img thingy that gets installed in the master boot record has to find it
