[Techtalk] still fedup after fedora upgrade

Two kernel upgrades later and I'm still suffering with Fedora 20.
I'm sure this is something I SHOULD know how to do, so if anyone can point
me in the right direction (to documentation), I would be grateful. I will
read it.
Whenever I reboot (like after installing updates) my grub menu still gives
me problems.
The GRUB entries now read:
Fedora (3.15.10-201.fc20.x86_64) 20 Heisenbug (like an
uncertainty principle with a bug)
Fedora (3.15.10-201.fc20.x86_64) 20 Heisenbug (I'm certain
it's an ugly bug)
Fedora
Advanced options for Fedora
The Third or Fourth option can work. They point to Fedora
3.14.8-200.fc20.x86_64
Each of the two top choices fail to boot my machine with these errors:
Error can't find command linuxefi
Error can't find command initrdefi
I have NO CLUE why these kernels should be looking for EFI since I don't
have EFI. I have BIOS.
I have NO CLUE why the same error does NOT appear on the earlier version.
(but I'm grateful for that or I wouldn't be able to login).
And to make matters worse, the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
states right on top: DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE MANUALLY - because it is
generated new by script at each boot (so it won't do any good anyway).
So I've gone to /etc/grub.d and I know that the file I need to edit is the
one named 10_linux
I see this conditional:
if -d /sys/firmware/efi
Well, I don't have an efi directory in /sys/firmware
So why is it still trying to load efi??
Any ideas?
thanks,
