my issue was, I installed ubuntu last & it took over the grub.cfg. It
had entries for fedora.
then I booted into fedora, installed a newer kernel & grub didn't have
an entry for that kernel, because grub was from ubuntu, so it didn't get
updated. My issue was how to get the newer fedora entries into grub.
I see there are 2 ways ( that I know of) to accomplish this.

1. boot into ubuntu & update-grub
2.in fedora run efibootmgr -v to see what the current entries & defaults
are, the issue efibootmgr-o xxxx, yyyy where xxxx= my current fedora
entry & yyyy=ubuntu. when I reboot, the fedora grub will be utilized.

then if I update ubuntu I have to either do the efibootmgr -o to change
to ubuntu OR from fedora run grub-2mkconfig.. with 2 ESPs it is a manual
process to keep grub updated for 2 OSes..
