From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: After upgrading the FC2test1 kernel to the latest version from rawhide (2.6.3-1.97), this kernel is added to grub.conf, but the previous kernel is still the default Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grub- kernel-2.6.3-1.97 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. install FC2test1 2. install all available updates 3. Actual Results: grub's default is still the original 2.6.1-1.65 that shipped with FC2test1 Expected Results: The latest updated kernel should be the default (as it was in FC1) Additional info: In a way, this is a security issue: a user may asume his system is completely up to date after up2date + reboot, but if this user didn't pay close attemtion to the boot, his system would still be running the old kernel (which may have a security hole)
This is intentional. The various updating tools handle doing the updating of the default themselves (if they don't, bugs should be filed against them, not grub)
