Hi. I've recently installed F19 on my new laptop (with UEFI and Secure Boot). I'm new to Fedora but have been using Ubuntu on my old laptop.
Having managed to get efibootmgr to boot into F19 by default rather than Window 8, I decided to change the grub config to boot faster (ie. reducing the timeout).
Looking at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GRUB_2, i also decided to check what grub entries were available, and what the default entry was.
Here are the grub entries:
Here is the default entry:
However, after booting, the kernel version booted is:
So, it seems the latest kernel version is used, and it doesn't matter that the default entry is pointing to an old kernel version. So, the conclusion is that I don't need to change the default entry to point to the latest kernel (which is what I want). Can someone confirm please?
Thanks.
BTW, for completeness here is the grub config:
