Description:

My setting is as follow:

# tree /boot/loader/
/boot/loader/
├── entries
│ ├── archlinux.conf
│ └── archlinux-lts.conf
└── loader.conf

2 entries exist 1 for booting the latest kernel and the other one for booting the LTS kernel.

I tried to boot LTS kernel by defaut, so I modified loader.conf as follow:

timeout 3
default archlinux-lts

but this has no effect, gummiboot still boots latest kernel if no action is done during its boot menu.

This happens with gummiboot 45-1

Thanks.

This task depends upon
