Heh, I wondered how long it would take before someone filed something about this :) fixed in cvs |
Description of Problem: On installs and upgrades, anaconda should remove all stale EFI Boot Manager entries that it may have created on previous installs to the same system. Something like: for b in `efibootmgr | grep "Red Hat Linux" | awk '{print $1}'`; do efibootmgr -b $b -B done Otherwise, you wind up with multiple entries "Red Hat Linux" in the boot manager after installing multiple times.
