Default kernel boot problem

[mackowiakp]

I have two kernels on my PC (dont ask me why) do my /boot dir loosk like this:

Code: Select all

[root@basia-pc boot]# ls
config@                              symvers-3.8.13.4-desktop-1.mga3.xz
config-3.8.13.4-desktop-1.mga3       symvers-3.8.13-desktop-1.mga3.xz
config-3.8.13-desktop-1.mga3         symvers-3.8.13-desktop586-1.mga3.xz
config-3.8.13-desktop586-1.mga3      System.map@
dracut/                              System.map-3.8.13.4-desktop-1.mga3
grub/                                System.map-3.8.13-desktop-1.mga3
grub2/                               System.map-3.8.13-desktop586-1.mga3
initrd-3.8.13.4-desktop-1.mga3.img   vmlinuz@
initrd-3.8.13-desktop-1.mga3.img     vmlinuz-3.8.13.4-desktop-1.mga3
initrd-3.8.13-desktop586-1.mga3.img  vmlinuz-3.8.13-desktop-1.mga3
initrd-desktop586.img@               vmlinuz-3.8.13-desktop586-1.mga3
initrd-desktop.img@                  vmlinuz-desktop@
initrd.img@                          vmlinuz-desktop586@

I want to set 3.8.13.4-desktop as default using Control Centre. Using graphic interface I check 3.8.13.4-desktop as default but the system still boot by default with 3.8.13-desktop586. Is any possibility to set new kernel as default manually? After that I will remove 3.8.13-desktop586 kernel from system.

Please show the output of

Code: Select all

ls -al /boot

, ls without options is useless.

[mackowiakp]

So You have:

Code: Select all

[basia@basia-pc ~]$ ls -al /boot

Do you use grub or grub2, and please show the config.

[mackowiakp]

I use grub2. But now I am far from this computer. Will send You config ASAP.
As i understand, You mean about /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file?
