Are final kernel packages considered or to be taken and regarded differently from all the rcX and betaN whatever kernel packages? right now on leap 42.2 beta3 I switched over to the KOTD repo there, and yesterday I was (and am still booting as default) on: Linux linux 4.8.0-rc8-2.g991ee60-default #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Sep 27 11:01:09 UTC 2016 (991ee60) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux although it has just "upgraded" or added the final 4.8.0 (non-rc) kernel package just minutes ago. I rebooted and grub default entry, but still brings up the rc8 kernel and booting it. Why doesnt it switch over to the "higher" non-rc final release 4.8 kernel? rpm -aq | grep kerne kernel-default-4.8.rc8-2.1.g991ee60.x86_64 kernel-default-4.8.0-1.1.gbbbf852.x86_64 kernel-firmware-20160516git-3.1.noarch ----- /var/log/zypp/history: 016-10-05 12:07:36|install|kernel-default|4.8.rc8-2.1.g991ee60|x86_64|root@linux-ang0|kernel-head-standard-KOTD|bf077c659284ffd7904a0130fd7f90450c52c46fa3aa7b475ced301dd4d9dd38| 2016-10-06 12:27:23|command|root@linux-ang0|'zypper' 'up' 'ucode-amd' 'kernel-firmware' 'kernel-default'| # 2016-10-06 12:28:24 kernel-default-4.8.0-1.1.gbbbf852.x86_64.rpm installed ok # Additional rpm output: # Creating initrd: /boot/initrd-4.8.0-1.gbbbf852-default # dracut: Executing: /usr/bin/dracut --logfile /var/log/YaST2/mkinitrd.log --force --force-drivers "pata_atiixp ahci ata_generic xennet xenblk" /boot/initrd-4.8.0-1.gbbbf852-default 4.8.0-1.gbbbf852-default ..... # dracut: resume=UUID=...... # dracut: root=UUID=...... rootfstype=ext4 rootflags=rw,relatime,data=ordered # dracut: *** Creating image file '/boot/initrd-4.8.0-1.gbbbf852-default' *** # dracut: *** Creating initramfs image file '/boot/initrd-4.8.0-1.gbbbf852-default' done *** # 2016-10-06 12:28:24|install|kernel-default|4.8.0-1.1.gbbbf852|x86_64|root@linux-ang0|kernel-head-standard-KOTD|943f9d5df7eba11f3b2156166dc763b98ac12d757efcfa81289fc129bb354be2| but it never becomes the default entry for grub2 why not? :( -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
