It's a *very* long time since I had a multiboot system (on a laptop that came with Vista installed), so my recollection isn't precise. It was *like* my example. I can't remember if the Windows option was straight Windows, it probably was. It probably handed over to the Windows boot system which would have had its own normal/rescue boot options. > If after a kernel install you don't run grub2-mkconfig you will > always get flat menus because either the BLSCFG option is active or the > menus are built by Grubby which has always ignored the sub-menu option > and only built flat menus. All of that was automatic, I'd never messed with grub2-mkconfig, grubby, et al, to modify things before or after any updates. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
