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 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 suggests that since Fedora 18, there is now a file /etc/default/grub, similar to the one in Debian/Ubuntu. (Dear anonymous user: this should have been submitted as an answer, not by editing an existing answer.) – Gilles Jan 8 at 9:38

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
