"0" or "saved" I guess - my config is changed - "saved" is the fedora default "0" should do what you want: the lastest installed kernel is the top most in the grub-boot-menu. - if I pick it right - "saved" needs to select the lastest kernel in grub-/boot menu manually only ONCE and that selection should become the default forever (but only until the next kernel update) if you change /etc/default/grub you need to run grub2-mkconfig: [ -d /sys/firmware/efi/efivars ] && sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg || sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg the last line is only ONE line from "[" to "g" ! it's a short form of an "if" - "then" - "else" where: "&&" means "then" "||" means "else" _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
