This is a trap for the unwary. BTW, IMHO the grub cli help is also misleading: help savedefault savedefault: savedefault [--stage2=STAGE2_FILE] [--default=DEFAULT] [--once] Save DEFAULT as the default boot entry in STAGE2_FILE. If '--once' is specified, the default is reset after the next reboot. The brackets mean to me that it's optional. So you'd use --stage2 only if you're using some non-standard stage2 file. Also, BTW, if you do run savedefault without --stage2 there's no error message. But it also didn't work :( savedefault --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --default=2 --once reboot, and I'm back at F9. Two possibilities: 1. grub isn't booting F12 2. F12 is failing, and grub is booting F9 as the fallback So I upped the timeout to 60 seconds. Set default in grub.conf to 0, and rebooted: May 8 12:34:10 Server pcscd: readerfactory.c:1379:RFCleanupReaders() entering cleaning function May 8 12:34:10 Server pcscd: pcscdaemon.c:532:at_exit() cleaning /var/run May 8 12:37:24 Server kernel: imklog 3.20.2, log source = /proc/kmsg started. May 8 12:37:24 Server kernel: Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset So a reboot takes 3 mins, 10 secs, 190 seconds Then set default=saved, ran from grub cli savedefault --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --default=2 --once reboot. May 8 12:16:09 Server pcscd: readerfactory.c:1379:RFCleanupReaders() entering cleaning function May 8 12:16:09 Server pcscd: pcscdaemon.c:532:at_exit() cleaning /var/run May 8 12:18:23 Server kernel: imklog 3.20.2, log source = /proc/kmsg started. May 8 12:18:23 Server kernel: Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset 2 minutes, 20 secs. So it looks to me like grub is not booting F12 at all. Any help realllly appreciated. sean -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
