grub screen
Reproduced easily, happens every time with the new grubby. Always some random characters, different every time (cool feature!).

grubby-8.40-1.fc22 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 22. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/grubby-8.40-1.fc22 Proposed as a Blocker and Freeze Exception for 22-beta by Fedora user pwalter using the blocker tracking app because: Proposing as a blocker for Fedora 22 Beta, as it violates the following Alpha criterion: "Any component which prominently identifies a Fedora release version number, code name or milestone (Alpha, Beta, Final) must do so correctly." -1 blocker, the affected grubby is not in the RC3 images and was never pushed stable. *** Bug 1212573 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Package grubby-8.40-1.fc22: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 22 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing grubby-8.40-1.fc22' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-6243/grubby-8.40-1.fc22 then log in and leave karma (feedback). Discussed at today's blocker review meeting [1]. This bug was rejected as Final Blocker - as the affected grubby build never went stable, there is no need to treat this bug as a release blocker. [1] http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2015-04-20/ grubby-8.40-1.fc22 has been pushed to the Fedora 22 stable repository.

Created attachment 1014610 [details] /var/log/grubby Description of problem: The title of first entry is some random string. I updated to new grubby and new kernel. After reboot the newly created entry title is nonsense. Boot works normally if you chose that entry. In grub.cfg there is 'H<EC>lq;^?' grub2-mkconfig works fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grubby-8.39-1.fc22.x86_64 How reproducible: it happened after update to new version of grubby and new kernel and during installation of F22 Beta RC2 with updates testing. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install F22 Beta RC2 with updates testing Actual results: First menuentry is some random string Expected results: Correct menuentry Additional info: I propose this as a final blocker as it somehow violates this alpha criterion: "Any component which prominently identifies a Fedora release version number, code name or milestone (Alpha, Beta, Final) must do so correctly." The grub doesn't show correct information about installed system. If there are another systems on the computer the grub doesn't provide efficient information about what the user is booting. Workaround would be to press 'e' and look what that entry boots which is not solution for everyone.
