Description of problem: Please enhance the boot menu to show the 'rescue' status and the kernel version number. The current text for a menuentry that is generated by grub2-mkconfig does not tell me what I need to know when I choose what to boot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grub2-tools-2.02-0.38.fc26.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install new bootloader (or run /usr/sbin/grub2-mkconfig) on a box that has multiple Linux systems installed on separate GPT partitions 2. boot, or inspect /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg 3. Notice the lack of annotation of 'rescue' or explicit kernel version, except for the first (newest?) system. Actual results: The first system has menuentry titles such as ===== Fedora (4.10.0-0.rc3.git4.1.fc26.x86_64) 26 (Workstation Edition) Fedora (0-rescue-5c5c7c29e38a42768f7ee4d43b6d3dda) 26 (Workstation Edition) ===== which is informative and usable. However, the other systems have main titles such as ===== Fedora release 25 (Twenty Five) (on /dev/sda3) Advanced options for Fedora release 25 (Twenty Five) (on /dev/sda3) ===== with submenu titles such as: ===== Fedora release 25 (Twenty Five) (on /dev/sda3) Fedora release 25 (Twenty Five) (on /dev/sda3) Fedora release 25 (Twenty Five) (on /dev/sda3) ===== which actually correspond to 3 different choices, but grub2-mkconfig has given them all the same title. Expected results: The non-first systems should have titles like ===== Fedora release 25 (Twenty Five) (on /dev/sda3) [rescue] ===== with submenu titles like ===== Fedora 25 (Twenty Five) /dev/sda3 [rescue] Fedora 25 (Twenty Five) /dev/sda3 4.8.15-300.fc25.x86_64 Fedora 25 (Twenty Five) /dev/sda3 4.9.3-200.fc25.x86_64 ===== I want to be able to identify easily all the kernel versions on the same screen, without having to Edit all the submenus. Additional info:
This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.
You have to propose this change to upstream GRUB.
