Description of problem: MGA3B1 kde dvd live 64bit on wmware, a kernel update has been installed but no new kernel entry appears on the grub menu reported here with all details https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4113 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I think this job is in charge to initrd (just a guess) How reproducible: Don't know, I made only 1 installation Steps to Reproduce: 1.install 2.update the kernel 3.check /boot/grub/menu.lst
have you both grub and grub2 installed ? (in fact it's the symlink to initrd.img which is not updated)
Source RPM: dracut (or some script used to install kernels) => dracut, draktools
(and vmlinuz)
if yes it's a dups of bug 8463

I made the simpler installation, can't remember a question about which grub I'd like to have, so probably I have the default choise. Now I have both grub packeges installed, how can understand which is the used one? BTW, I have modified /boot/grub/menu.lst to add the newer kernel and I'm now running it, so if that file is used only by grub1 you have the answer. about comment 1 & 2, there are symlinks to the newer kernel but they have a different name like initrd-desktop, and I think this is right as I need a way to start one kernel or the other one, so I need both links and an additional entry in menu.lst poiting to the different links or directly to the initrd-kernel.3.7.x file. finally yes, it seems a dupe of 8463
well seems you use grub1, ok so yes duplicate >I made the simpler installation, can't remember a question about which grub I'd >like to have, so probably I have the default choise. ah indeed interesting, the live copy all rpms which are on the media, will open a separate bugs for that. thanks anyway. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 8463 ***
