Thank you so much Tim! When I ran 'grub2-set-default 0' again and ran grub2-mkconfig it seems to have worked! I've rebooted twice and the system seems to work. I'm not sure what the root cause was as I've never consciously use the boot next option and I'm not aware of a failed boot in ...years. _______________________________________________ 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
