So what we should probably do is make %post add the new kernel's stanza, make %posttrans create the initrd, and then at the end of %posttrans, make it the default. Peter was working on this a bit ago. It requires changes in grubby, and small change in kernel.spec when grubby is built and ready. Moving to grubby for now. Just to add my $0.02: I ran into this on a fedup --net 20 - there was some kind of issue during the reboot process and the whole upgrade stopped after installing ~1200 pachaes of ~2700. The computer was unresponsive, there was no remote access, so I did a hard reboot. I discovered that there was only F19 kernels in the Grub menu on reboot, and the fedup upgrade did not terminate (the "upgrade" Grub menu item had disappeared on reboot). So I regenerated grub.cfg with grub2-knconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg which promptly broke everything because there were Grub entries for F20 kernels with no corresponding initrd. It took a long time for me to get a reasonable config, and I still have lingering issues. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle. Changing version to '22'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora22 Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. Still valid This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle. Changing version to '25'. This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
