. After changing /etc/default/grub [as part of my attempt to make a nice clean text boot display] to look as below: [root@box6 bobg]# cat /etc/default/grub GRUB_TIMEOUT=15 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Fedora" GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 KEYTABLE=us SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd.luks=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8" I did the following as was suggested: [root@box6 bobg]# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Generating grub.cfg ... Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.1.7-1.fc16.x86_64 Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-3.1.7-1.fc16.x86_64.img Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64 Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64.img No volume groups found done And everything works pretty much the way I would like it to except that now I have to select the kernel version to boot else it boots to the older one. The grub screen shows them listed in the following order and defaults to the third line 3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64 which I believe is not what it should do? 3.1.7-1.fc16.x86_64 3.1.7-1.fc16.x86_64 Recovery Mode 3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64 3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64 Recovery Mode Assuming that 3.1.7-1.fc16.x86_64 is the later version how do I fix that? The old grub was a lot less mysterious and easier to deal with.
