after upgrade to F19 GRUB2 comes up with "error: diskfilter writes are not supported" and waits some seconds to press a key and thanks god boots after that automatically to not break wakeup-on-lan (see also attachment)

but what is this nonsense?

oh, and remove the line "insmod diskfilter" from "grub.cfg" does not change anything

I'm seeing the same error. I found the message mysterious, so I took a look at the code and discovered the following:
- "diskfilter" is GRUB's implementation detail for working with LVM and MD RAID
  devices.
- Writing to these kinds of devices is not implemented in GRUB.
- The error may have always been there, but
  0085-grub-core-disk-diskfilter.c-grub_diskfilter_write-Ca.patch made it more
  visible.
- The reason GRUB is trying to write to the device could be it's following
  the "save_env" commands in the config file.

interesting - why does GRUB try to write anything?
it has not to touch any FS at boot

GRUB2 is such a large step backwards because it is more or less it's own operating system with the most ugly configuration one could design while grub-legacy was a boot-manager and nothing else

finally we end in 3 full operating systems

* grub
* dracut
* linux

/etc/default/grub with these options avoids a lot of crap on Fedora-Only machines

GRUB_TIMEOUT=1
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Fedora"
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT="false"
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU="true"
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER="true"

Note that GRUB Legacy had a similar feature: the "savedefault" command.

Comment 6

Harald Reindl

but it did not halt boot for some seconds with a useless error message and "press any key to continue" as well it did not mess up with submenues and whatever nor did it freeze the machine while edit the kernel line which happens with GRUB2 way too often if you need to edit it

Comment 7

Michal Schmidt

2013-10-08 13:15:05 UTC

My comment #5 was just to show that the assertion "it has not to touch any FS at boot" is false and that GRUB Legacy was no different in this regard.
I already commented on the increased visibility of the error, in comment #2.

For Fedora 20 in /etc/default/grub

GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT="false"

makes the difference (after grub2-mkconfig)

Fedora End Of Life

2015-01-09 19:47:14 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora End Of Life

2015-02-17 17:08:00 UTC

Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
