A post of those notes (with an addition on whether they worked or not)
might be very interesting to a fellow Debian user of the elderly
persuasion :-)
This thread on grub2 is getting really scary. I'm afraid to make
changes in the grub2 configs because an error could easily brick my
machine. And futzing with /etc/default doesn't seem to impress grub2 a
whole lot. Not concerning what I want to do, anyway.
I think that what I'm wanting to do is completely remove some kernels
from grub2's consideration and go back to one that works for me --
that seems to be a tricky job.
The installer and the updater send magic incantations to grub2 that
successfully add/delete kernels to the boot process. Anybody have any
idea what those might be?
How about just removing all references to the ones I don't want from
/boot and running update-grub?
