I've already hinted at this, because those entries are either wrong or suboptimal. Each distro has its own /etc/default/grub which contains its own unique GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= which really only applies to that distro. The Ubuntu GRUB menu entries for Fedora contain Ubuntu boot parameters, not Fedora's. And vice versa. Further, because Fedora uses grubby to update its grub.cfg rather than rebuilding it from scratch, the Fedora grub.cfg never will get updated to reflect the actual state of Ubuntu's installed kernels as they change. It's just a shitty workflow. The proper way to do this, as I've mentioned before, is grub-mkconfig should not create menu entries for "other" OS's, it should use the configfile command, and load that other OS's grub.cfg. So I just disable this crap because it's f'n broken. :-D -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
