Dear listmembers, hello Andrei, Chris, Ico, honestly speaking I never ever expected so a simple thing to be implemented in such a complicated manner. Is it unusual to make another kernel the default choice - don't think so. Would a user want this - the answer (my answer ...) is "yes". But what I saw from your comments describes a complexity I never ever anticipated to be possible for a normal thinking person :-) Two variables - a string containing the name printed on boot and a number referring to the desired entry in the list - this would be understandable. I cannot remember this had had been so complicated in the "good old" (:-)) times when we were discussing lilo or grub (1). Anyway, thank you very very much for your detailled descriptions and your efforts - based on this I can proceed, have a nice and relaxing weekend, thanks again Dieter Jurzitza Am Samstag, 13.

Dear listmembers, I am trying to figure out how grub2 does know which kernel to boot.
