Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
Created attachment 30415 [details] grub.conf that fails to have it's "default=X" param set
grubby didn't exist until mkinitrd 3.2 or so... this case should be fixed as of mkinitrd 3.2.4
This is STILL BROKEN, even in RHEL3. Please please fix!
I'll pull my foot out of my mouth... and say that the above example does work. *However*, this doesn't: grubby --set-default 2.4.7-0.9.1 Turns out, grubby from RHL 7.3 says STRING when explaining what should come after --set-default. RHEL3's --help and man page now says "kernel path". That's cool.
