kerninst is pretty stupid. To create the list of kernels (in GRUB, not |
| 23 |
GRUB2), it simply lists the kernels in /boot, sorts them inverted by |
| 24 |
version, and then uses that order for the listing. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Therefore, if you have: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
vmlinuz-3.9 |
| 29 |
vmlinuz-3.8 |
| 30 |
vmlinuz-3.10 |
| 31 |
vmlinuz-blah |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
the inverted sort by version will be: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
vmlinuz-blah |
| 36 |
vmlinuz-3.10 |
| 37 |
vmlinuz-3.9 |
| 38 |
vmlinuz-3.8 |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
and the kernel with an alphanumeric "version" will be always be the default. |
| 41 |

That should explain everything. |

As I said before, kerninst was not written to test configurations; is |
| 49 |
for when you have nailed the configuration and want to automatize the |
| 50 |
kernel update. |
