Missing /etc/default/grub in fedora15

Question

Based on this suggestion, I want to edit /etc/default/grub to add the line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=Linux"

However, I don't have that file on my system. What should I do?

Do you have the grub package installed? Did you remove the file earlier? — Gilles 'SO- stop being evil', Jul 18 '11 at 19:25

Well /etc/default is a Debian/Ubuntu thing, so you're unlikely to find it in Fedora.

You don't need it though - just add the option to the command line for the current entries in grub.conf and Fedora will preserve it when installing new kernels.

An [anonymous user](http://unix.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/9845) suggests that since Fedora 18, there is now a file `/etc/default/grub`, similar to the one in Debian/Ubuntu.

Maybe you want to change /boot/grub/grub.conf?

Fedora 15 uses grub2. You should have /etc/grub.conf symlinked to /boot/grub/menu.lst

No it doesn't. Fedora 16 will likely use grub2, but Fedora 15 still uses grub 0.97. – TomH Jul 19 '11 at 12:41
grub 0.97 is a prerelease version of grub2 – hildred Dec 26 '13 at 21:58
