I think the odds are high grubby is doing this. But for whatever reason there's a state change that causes it to not do it subsequently when I manually run newkernelpkg. And I'll bet the reason why is because grub.cfg as written from grub2-mkconfig is incomplete because the 3.16.1-301.fc21.i686 initramfs isn't finished building. And it's grubby that cleans up that missing part of the grub.cfg entry. I bet only when it has to modify grub.cfg does it also modify grubenv. OK another TC7 install, another chroot of /mnt/sysimage while in the post-install live media environment: # grub2-set-default 0 # grub2-editenv list saved_entry=0 # rm -f /boot/initramfs-3.16.1-301.fc21.i686.img # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg ## the grub.cfg is now in the state it was in during installation, with a boot entry that lacks an initrd line # grub2-editenv list saved_entry=0 # new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --dracut --depmod --update 3.16.1-301.fc21.i686 # grub2-editenv list saved_entry=Fedora, with Linux 3.16.1-301.fc21.i686 AHA!
