On today's upgrade to kernel-4.2.3-200 , same problem. grep -B 1 -A 5 kernel.x86_64\ 4.2.3-200.fc22 /var/log/dnf.log | grep -v DEBUG -- Installed: kernel.x86_64 4.2.3-200.fc22 kernel-core.x86_64 4.2.3-200.fc22 kernel-devel.x86_64 4.2.3-200.fc22 kernel-modules.x86_64 4.2.3-200.fc22 kernel-modules-extra.x86_64 4.2.3-200.fc22 # grep 4.2.3 /boot/grub2/grub.cfg # FWIW: cat /etc/default/grub GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Fedora" GRUB_DEFAULT=1 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 KEYTABLE=us SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd.luks=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8" kernel-install does not support create/generating grub configuration files. It only supports creating a boot loader entry's in accordance with the boot loader specification which in turn should be usable by bootloaders that confirm with that specification. Fedora carry's downstream hack [1] that just calls /sbin/new-kernel-pkg which in turn generates those grub entries so a) you dont have grubby package installed or b) grubby/new-kernel-pkg is not generating those boot entries Re-assigning to correct component. 1. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/systemd.git/tree/kernel-install-grubby.patch This didn't work in Fedora 21 and doesn't work in Fedora 23 either. It *does* work on a system I configured to use EFI booting, but it does not work on a system using BIOS booting. grubby seems to update a config file in /etc, but does not touch the config file in /boot/grub2, and does not seem to use information from /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d effectively. (So the config file it creates in /etc wouldn't boot the system even if it were accessible on first booting, which it isn't.) As far as I can tell, on my system the problem is that readlink -f /etc/grub2.cfg returns /etc/grub2.cfg. It does not return /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. Hence, grubby is only ever going to update the former, which is useless. It never touches the latter. 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 Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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. |
