Hello,

After an update of teh kernel. the file:
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg is updated.
However thsi file is not update properly.
How? In which way is it not updated "properly"?

Prior to installing a new kernel, you could save a copy of grub.cfg,
install a new kernel package, and then run diff on the old and new
grub.cfg. What do you get?

If I run:
  grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
then the file is OK.
Define "OK".

grub2-mkconfig rewrites grub.cfg from scratch and under consideration
of template files, such as those in /etc/grub.d, and add-on tools such
as os-prober.

On the contrary, grubby (as run via the kernel packages) only inserts
a new boot entry into the existing file. It does not recreate the file
completely.
Hi Michael,
My experience with grubby being run after kernel installs, when I have been able to get it to run, is that it does recreate the entire grub.cfg file. For example, I have been in the situation where the boot menu had an entry for the latest kernel followed by an group entry for 'Advanced Fedora Options' (or something similar) along with the same structure for Ubuntu, then after running grubby, the groupings were removed and all the entries that were listed in the groups were moved to the top level.

regards,
Steve


Somebody can tell me what is going on?
