Howdy, |

So I have these entries in my /etc/default/grub file: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Gentoo" |
| 6 |
GRUB_DEFAULT=kernel-3.13.6-gentoo |
| 7 |
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=3 |
| 8 |
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 |
| 9 |
GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I ran 'grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg' |
| 12 |
after the last ebuild of 3.13.6-gentoo |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
/boot shows: |
| 16 |
kernel-3.13.0-gentoo |
| 17 |
kernel-3.13.0-gentoo-r1 |
| 18 |
kernel-3.13.1-gentoo |
| 19 |
kernel-3.13.6-gentoo |
| 20 |
kernel-3.13.6B-gentoo |
| 21 |
kernel-3.13.7-gentoo |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Obviously, I like to kept kernel experiments around a while.... |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
So when I get the Grub2 (ascii) boot menu and just select the |
| 27 |
default, it boots kernel-3.13.7-gentoo, despite |
| 28 |
'kernel-3.13.6-gentoo' being set in as the default for Grub2? |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Comment thoughts and suggestions, including deeper reading on grub2 |
| 31 |
is most welcome, particulary Grub2 examples. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Also, is there a nice 'gui' boot-menu for grub2 ? |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
It seems to take several repeated attemps for grub2 to correctly |
| 36 |
use the kernel I desire, despite what syntax/order I use. |
| 37 |
If I boot a kernel that is not the default, it takes about 2 minutes, |
| 38 |
then another 2 minutes of blank screen then it boot fairly quickly. |
| 39 |
The mobo is a GA-99FXA-UD3 and this might not have the bios/uefi/??? |
| 40 |
optimally configured? (first gigabyte moble). |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
The is what I have read on grub2 (man pages, gentoo wiki) so additional |
| 43 |
reading, with some useful examples would also be much appreciated. |
