FWIW, I always re-run mkconfig after every kernel update nowadays, even if only to view the diff with whatever grubby did. I no longer trust grubby after several stuck instances in Amazon EC2, which I had to perform surgery on to repair because of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1509515 Grubby also has an annoying behavior of having menu ids which don't match the kernel name. While not a problem, it's different than what mkconfig does, and personally, I'd prefer we just run mkconfig after kernel updates. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org 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/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
