One possible reason for there being two entries is that at boot time, each boot time, the BIOS scans all the drives looking for boot sectors, and lists every drive/partition that it finds. I had one like that, and only one of the Fedoras it listed was actually bootable. It would list all potentially bootable drives *and* all potentially bootable partitions (as in things with system files on them, not necessarily ones that would actually boot).
Another reason is multiple installs. You installed Fedora 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, etc, and their installation installed parameters into UEFI for how to boot them. At some stage, one install hasn't removed an older entry. I'm sure I've had that, too, and it's annoying that an installation just puts "Fedora" into the name, rather than "Fedora 39". Even more so if you were dual booting more than one version. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
