Hi Kathryn, I'm not sure what's the requested behavior here. Could you please retest that the bug s fixed for you? Thanks, Martin Retested with grubby-8.28-18.el7: [root@localhost ~]# echo "MAKEDEBUG=yes" >> /etc/sysconfig/kernel [root@localhost ~]# yum install ./kernel-3.10.0-507.el7.x86_64.rpm The result is that the non-debug boot entry is listed first, following the debug boot entry. The problem is that the debug entry is selected to be booted by default, which is not expected: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (3.10.0-507.el7.x86_64) 7.3 (Maipo) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (3.10.0-507.el7.x86_64) 7.3 (Maipo) with> << selected by default Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (3.10.0-506.el7.x86_64) 7.3 (Maipo) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (0-rescue-49a0cff6c58a443eba05fa166c4349> Since the fix is incomplete, moving back to ASSIGNED. discussed with jstodola; moving this to 7.4 release; old behavior will remain for now. On RHEL 7.3 the order is now as expected (first normal, second with debugging) altough #c9 states "moving to 7.4 release" but now the debugging entry is selected as default boot entry. see also: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1367792#c6 It sounds like two distinct problems are being discussed here: an unexpected ordering of the entries on the grub boot menu (Kathryn), vs the wrong entry being marked as the default (Jan, Thomas, and me too). Can someone clarify whether these are different symptoms of the same underlying problem in grubby, or should these be tracked as two separate bugs?
