I think the problem is that just tells Fedora to use the previously saved entry as its default, and there's other things (perhaps more than one) that determine what will actually be the default. In the old grub (which was easier to follow the instructions) if you wanted a particular boot entry to be remembered as the default, you had to add a save default instruction to that boot stanza. As that stanza was executed, it set itself as default and booted that kernel. Any other entry that didn't have that instruction, wasn't remembered. I'm not sure if grub2 behaves that way, too. There's a boot once option, which means that you make a decision to boot from some other kernel, without changing the saved default. You might boot from a rescue option to fix something, and not want that to be the default, you'll like your next normal boot to do the usual kernel. There's a boot next option, which allows you to set which entry to boot next time, after doing that the subsequent boot will be the default. That can be used for things like making the PC reboot into the UEFI config mode. Once you exit the config, it'll reboot and boot up to your usual kernel. Doing a bit of googling, /boot/grub2/grubenv file cannot be manually edited. Use the following command instead: [root@host ~]# grub2-set-default 0 [root@host ~]# grub2-editenv list saved_entry=0 That 0 should mean the most recently installed kernel. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1062.4.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Oct 18 17:15:30 UTC 2019 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
