You should never need to run grub2-mkconfig after each kernel update. The only reason I can guess at is that they ran it to overwrite the file in /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/ (which is normally a stub that loads the default file in /boot/grub2/) and now they have to manually run it each time. Normally, the only reason you’d run it is if you changed a variable in /etc/default/grub. Grubby just creates new bootloaderspec files in /boot/loader. Also, I don’t believe grubby creates new initrd files, that’s handled by the kernel post install scripts. (Which also calls grubby). -- Jonathan Billings _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
