Description of problem: preupgrade system start upgrade after upgrade, boot menu entry is not removed and still default, so installer starts again Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rawhide of today (2008-04-19)
(No preupgrade component to reassign to yet) It'd actually be nice I think if the preupgrade package did this itself in its %post (or %preun) -- that'd keep anaconda from having to keep track of exactly what it should be trying to remove. Also, it might be nice if preupgrade used the grub one-shot default rather than permanently changing the default.

Oh, so when the preupgrade package gets installed during the upgrade, it could clean up after itself? I guess that makes sense. Something like: grubby --remove-kernel=/boot/upgrade/vmlinuz rm -rf /boot/upgrade should do it. > Also, it might be nice if preupgrade used the grub one-shot default rather > than permanently changing the default. Not sure how to configure that. Grubby doesn't seem to support it. Any further info on this would be appreciated.

I guess that makes sense. Something like: > grubby --remove-kernel=/boot/upgrade/vmlinuz > rm -rf /boot/upgrade > should do it. Yeah, seems reasonable to me. > > Also, it might be nice if preupgrade used the grub one-shot default rather > > than permanently changing the default. > > Not sure how to configure that.

From `rpm -q grub --changelog` - add patch from GRUB mailing list from Keir Fraser to add a --once flag to savedefault function so that you can have the equivalent of lilo -R functionality (use 'savedefault --default=N --once' from the grub shell) Not implemented in grubby as it's not supported by all bootloaders
