The kernel options are in the BLS entries, so it doesn't matter what you have in grubenv. >From the grub2 changelog on may 13th: Store cmdline in BLS snippets instead of using a grubenv variable The kernel cmdline was stored as a kernelopts variable in the grubenv file and the BLS snippets used that. But this turned out to be fragile since the grubenv file could be removed or get corrupted easily. To prevent the entries to not have a cmdline if the grubenv can't be read, a fallback variable was set in the GRUB config file. But this still caused issues since the config needs to be re-generated to change the parameters. Instead, let's store the cmdline in the BLS snippets. This will make the configuration more robust, since it will work even without the grubenv file and the BLS entries will contain all the information needed to boot. _______________________________________________ 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
