Good point, except for the fact that it's totally wrong. Do you honestly think I'd bitch and moan if it was something I did? I've upgraded a dozen machines to F7 now and in 9 of the 12 or 13, grub has failed to update properly. Oh, it setup the F7 kernel entry, but didn't set it as the default boot kernel. That is a bug. Plain and simple. Now /why/ it's a problem on some and not on others, I do not know. If I did I'd be posting the answer. -- Da mihi sis bubulae frustrum assae, solana tuberosa in modo gallico fricta, ac quassum lactatum coagulatum crassum Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415 Call (866) ERC-7110 for after hours support -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
in my experience, during upgrades old kernels are always deleted (that might be a problem if the only installed kernel wouldn't work (that never happened to me, but it might happen) I am not a geek, so I do not know if there is any particular reason to remove all old kernel.. Generally speaking, I find that grub is generally updated properly...my two cents... -- Antonio Montagnani Skype : antoniomontag
