Comment 1 Leo Sandoval 2026-06-09 17:14:49 UTC
Reproduced and looking into it.

Comment 2 Leo Sandoval 2026-06-09 19:29:06 UTC
Any reason you create this ticket instead of reopening https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2390242 ?
I just read the comments from 2390242 and seems that GRUB is not the culprit in this case. Correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Leo, I think it's much cleaner to have a new ticket for a new release/version of the OS/product.
I also thought that reopening a ticket should be limited to the vendor, not for the general public.
Regarding GRUB, I just tried to match the old ticket properties.
Perhaps SYSTEMD would have been a better component selection.

Comment 4 Marta Lewandowska 2026-06-12 13:48:55 UTC
Happy to switch it for you :)

Comment 5 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2026-06-13 13:34:26 UTC
>        initrd: /boot//initramfs-7.0.11-200.fc44.x86_64.img $tuned_initrd (No such file or directory)

This is the line that causes the problem. As discussed previously, the Boot Loader Specification format
has no concept of "variables", and additionally, the 'initrd' stanza takes a single file name, so this
wouldn't be valid even if the variable was expanded. The only real fix for this is to stop doing
this unsupported thing. This param is injected by tuned scriptlets, so I'll redirect the bug to that
package.
