Grub2 is a verry different beast, a custom boot menu can be generated with /etc/grub.d/40_custom As a root user, to change the default boot item change Be carefull to count from the top starting with 0 for the first line, if there is a recovery mode this counts as one more item too. GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to the correct value in /etc/default/grub then run update-grub2 All you need is here http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html UPDATE-GRUB (8) UPDATE-GRUB(8) NAME update-grub, update-grub2 - stub for grub-mkconfig SYNOPSIS update-grub DESCRIPTION update-grub is a stub for running grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/ grub.cfg to generate a grub2 config file.
