Summary0008113: Kali Linux 2022.1 & 4 - changes to GRUB with multiple kernels doesn't apply at all
Description

Hi Guys,

I've observed that the GRUB changes with multiple kernels doesn't apply at all.
I have 4 kernels to select in mu start menu - 6.0.0 and 5.0.0 (each with standard and restore mode)

I've modified the GRUB config file:
"sudo vim /etc/default/grub"

I've changed the standard " GRUB_DEFAULT=0 " to the " GRUB_DEFAULT="1>2" ", I've run "sudo update-grub" and "reboot".
After the reboot I observe that no changes have been applied. The Kali Linux doesn't take any changes from GRUB config and just run a default kernel every time.

Could you fix that?

Steps To Reproduce

On OS with multiple kernels :

  1. sudo /etc/default/grub
  2. change " GRUB_DEFAULT=0 " to the " GRUB_DEFAULT="1>2" "
  3. :wq
  4. sudo update-grub
  5. reboot

Adding : GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
, sudo update-grub, reboot, select the one kernel we would like to reboot every time - doesn't work as well.
Each time the same default kernel is selected - first on the list and the newest one 6.0.0.
