Yeah, grub2-mkconfig as it stands really has no way of figuring out which one's which in that case. You don't strictly have to edit/rewrite grub2-mkconfig, as long as Fedora is the only distro messing with GRUB. Fedora does not rerun grub2-mkconfig on update, the grub2.cfg is patched by grubby. If you go in and fix /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, it should stay. (This is *not* the case for most other distros, however.) If you do want to hack on grub2-mkconfig, it runs scripts located in /etc/grub.d/ to make up the configuration. See /etc/grub.d/README for details. Note that changes there could get clobbered on grub2 updates, so be careful. -T.C. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
