Description of problem: After last yum update the Grub2 boot menu just says "Fedora" but linux-boot-prober /dev/sda1 /dev/sda1:/dev/sda1::/vmlinuz-3.9.2-200.fc18.x86_64:/initramfs-3.9.2-200.fc18.x86_64.img:root=/dev/sda1 /dev/sda1:/dev/sda1::/vmlinuz-3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64:/initramfs-3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64.img:root=/dev/sda1 /dev/sda1:/dev/sda1::/vmlinuz-3.9.5-201.fc18.x86_64:/initramfs-3.9.5-201.fc18.x86_64.img:root=/dev/sda1 So where are they on the boot menu..? The single Fedora line corresponds to the lastest one. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm -qa | grep grub grub2-tools-2.00-15.fc18.x86_64 grub2-2.00-15.fc18.x86_64 grubby-8.22-1.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: Every single boot. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Reboot my system 2. 3. Actual results: Single grub2 menu "Fedora" Expected results: Normal List of Last 3 kernels Additional info:
Grub do have advanced handling of booting of the "current" OS. os-prober is a half-hearted attempt of doing something that might work. A better approach is to let each OS manage its own configuration and let a main bootloader dispatch between different os's. That do however require some manual work, for instance using the grub configfile directive or some kind of "chain loading". So what you describe is kind of by (lack of) design and not a bug. Upstream might make improvements in this area in a later version.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
