Hi listers I have a workstation with two disks: [root@casablanca ~]# parted -l Model: ATA WDC WD20EFRX-68E (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 2000GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: pmbr_boot Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 20.5kB 262MB 262MB BIOS boot partition bios_grub 2 262MB 21.7GB 21.5GB ext4 Linux filesystem 3 21.7GB 32.5GB 10.7GB swsusp Linux swap 4 32.5GB 870GB 838GB ext4 Linux filesystem 5 870GB 900GB 30.0GB ext4 Linux filesystem 6 900GB 2000GB 1100GB btrfs Model: ATA WDC WD10EADS-00L (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 1000GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Disk Flags: Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 1049kB 52.4GB 52.4GB primary xfs boot 2 52.4GB 61.1GB 8703MB primary linux-swap(v1) 3 61.1GB 1000GB 939GB primary xfs [root@casablanca ~]#NOTE: the first disk has got a gpt partition table and a BIOS boot partition, the second has got an msdos partition table. Both disks have got fedora 22 installed. They can run independently from one another.
---------- Just now, I did an update dnf update ... ... ... on both disks. I rebooted both disks. The result on the first disk (with gpt partition table) is this: [root@thunder ~]# uname -r 4.2.3-200.fc22.x86_64 [root@thunder ~]# [root@thunder ~]# dnf list installed |grep kernel |sortabrt-addon-kerneloops.x86_64 2.6.1-2.fc22 @System kernel-core.x86_64 4.1.6-200.fc22 @System kernel-core.x86_64 4.1.6-201.fc22 @System kernel-core.x86_64 4.1.8-200.fc22 @System kernel-debug-core.x86_64 4.1.4-200.fc22 @System kernel-debug-core.x86_64 4.1.6-200.fc22 @System kernel-debug-core.x86_64 4.1.6-201.fc22 @System kernel-debug-modules-extra.x86_64 4.1.4-200.fc22 @System kernel-debug-modules-extra.x86_64 4.1.6-200.fc22 @System kernel-debug-modules-extra.x86_64 4.1.6-201.fc22 @System kernel-debug-modules.x86_64 4.1.4-200.fc22 @System kernel-debug-modules.x86_64 4.1.6-200.fc22 @System kernel-debug-modules.x86_64 4.1.6-201.fc22 @System kernel-devel.x86_64 4.1.8-200.fc22 @System kernel-headers.x86_64 4.1.8-200.fc22 @System kernel-modules-extra.x86_64 4.1.8-200.fc22 @System kernel-modules.x86_64 4.1.6-200.fc22 @System kernel-modules.x86_64 4.1.6-201.fc22 @System kernel-modules.x86_64 4.1.8-200.fc22 @System kernel.x86_64 4.1.6-200.fc22 @System kernel.x86_64 4.1.6-201.fc22 @System kernel.x86_64 4.1.8-200.fc22 @System libreport-plugin-kerneloops.x86_64 2.6.2-1.fc22 @System

[root@casablanca ~]#Here, the kernel 4.2.3-200.fc22 is installed and the machine according to uname -r booted from it.
---------Does the BIOS boot partition make the difference? Can anybody explain this strange behaviour?
