101-500 Exam - Question 71


Which of the following commands are valid in the GRUB 2 configuration file? (Choose two.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AD

The GRUB 2 configuration file utilizes specific commands for its configuration. 'menuentry' is used to create boot menu entries within the GRUB 2 menu, which helps in selecting different operating systems or recovery options. 'insmod' is used to load specific modules needed by GRUB 2 to support different filesystems and other functionalities. Therefore, 'menuentry' and 'insmod' are valid commands in the GRUB 2 configuration file.

I find this menuentry: dir: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Setup "From the GRUB 2 menu at boot, the user can also determine which Ubuntu is controlling the boot on a multi-OS system. By default, the first menuentry always lists an option from the installation which is in charge of GRUB 2. For example, if the first menuentry contains "on sda5, then the GRUB installed on sda5 OS is controlling the menu/boot." insmod: dir: https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/grub.html#insmod <<Then write a grub.cfg (/mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg): menuentry "OS using grub2" { insmod xfs search --set=root --label OS1 --hint hd0,msdos8 configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg }">> So A and D are OK

Yes good links and comments. grep -E 'insmod|menuentry' /boot/grub/grub.cfg and also /boot/grub2/grub.cfg confirms A & D. uefi is referenced but is a rem statement not a command https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/system_administrators_guide/ch-working_with_the_grub_2_boot_loader https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#:~:text=The%20GRUB%202%20menu%20is%20built%20by%20information%20contained%20in%20/boot/grub/grub.cfg pxe-ifconfig is invalid kpartx is related but not specifically in the grub2 config file https://linux.die.net/man/8/kpartx https://peter-low-level-programming.blogspot.com/2012/10/install-grub2-in-disk-image.html
