Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2013-10-26 22:40:02 CEST

what's your grub2 config ?

Comment 4 Doug Laidlaw 2013-10-27 02:08:55 CET

Created attachment 4462 [details]
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg

My bootloader is grub2 from Official, but it has been grub2 from Cauldron, then changed back again.

The default kernel is always the earlier one.

Comment 5 Doug Laidlaw 2013-11-13 12:01:12 CET

Booting into the latest kernel and running grub2-config from there was no help.

I notice an updated grub2 in the submission queue.  It hasn't reached me yet. I will keep a lookout for it.

Comment 6 Doug Laidlaw 2013-12-03 02:08:38 CET

There is nobody on the cc list.  It must be only me.  I have a couple of hardware-related bootup problems.

Comment 7 Doug Laidlaw 2013-12-06 04:32:44 CET

A new kernel has just come down and this bug has fixed itself.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
