Also, about the /boot/grub2/grubenv symlink to /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubenv - I'm only seeing this on clean installs from Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-30-1.2.iso so it might be related to how the lives are assembled and rsync'd over. It doesn't happen with a minimal or server installation on a BIOS VM. At the moment, I think whatever problem there was has been cleared and it's now behaving normally. > > I'm reading through the various scripts trying to understand the impact of GRUB_DEFAULT. It seems like having GRUB_DEFAULT=saved is not currently hurting me. The last upgrade, to 5.0.11-300, properly made that kernel the new default. > > If GRUB_DEFAULT is commented out, then I think grub will always choose the first item in its menu, which would be fine, because the newest kernel always appears first in the grub menu. Is that why you recommended commenting it out? Nope, sorry, you're confused. I referred to GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT - thinking maybe you had a customized /etc/default/grub. GRUB_DEFAULT and GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT are two different things, but the latter depends on the former. I suggest keeping things as is, with saved_entry set in the grubenv. And that's because GRUB and the grub-boot-success.service are able to do an automatic fallback to the previous working kernel if boot fails following a kernel upgrade. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
