Is this possible at all?
I have a thread here Ways to chain-load Almalinux installed with no bootloader in which I’m the only poster (it has received no responses from others) and which I would like to have permanently gone.
Thanks…
If you don’t have an option to delete it, I can do it for you. Did you get the problem resolved? If so, it’s better to reply to the thread yourself and provide the solution, so that anyone else that hits that problem has one more idea to solve it.
Hi and thank you for replying. In regard to your questions, I have been able to get to a temporary solution where there are now two different grub2 versions which coexist installed on the same MBR gap of my HDD, one is installed legacy style and boots all the legacy style OSes on the disk, and the other is installed UEFI style and boots the two Almalinux installations. However, this is not a proper solution. Even though everything seems to work perfectly well as is, I know this is not how it is technically supposed to be, for instance, when attempting to clone one of the partitions on the drive with Clonezilla, it gives an error message stating Clonezilla is unable to find that particular partition even though it has just listed it as an active partition in its report of found partitions on that disk just a few moments earlier, during the same cloning process… So, this is not something I would advise anyone else to do on a public forum, since something is lacking.
I have to say I am really surprised at the lack of responses to my thread, even after providing a lot of information in my additional two postings subsequent to the original one (which were later deleted). I felt I was providing useful information to this community and, yet, many participants were reading it but no one was responding. Utterly frustrating…
So, yes, would you please go ahead and delete permanently the whole thread, thank you, it is very much appreciated.
Unfortunately, support for many foundation-backed open source projects is at the mercy of the availability and knowledge of the folks volunteering their time. That did appear to be a pretty specific request. You might have better results asking in r/almalinux, but sorry we couldn’t help you here! I’ve deleted the thread for you.
Thanks once again for your reply, and also for your suggestion and for deleting as requested. My expectation wasn’t necessarily for a solution per se, just some general response to my thread so as to not feel completely ignored by the community…
