[Bug 1247700] Re: default kernel order issue with RC and final versions

[Christopher Chavez]

The issue is not present in grub2-2.02~beta2-19 (latest version for 15.04 Vivid)
Using one machine with test kernels, update-grub outputs:

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.17.0-custom
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.17.0-custom
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.17.0-rc1-custom
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.17.0-rc1-custom
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-29-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-29-generic
…

and grub2 lists 3.17.0-custom as the default kernel, not
3.17.0-rc1-custom.

Based on the changelog, this was probably fixed in grub2-2.00-20:
>  * Backport from upstream:
>    - Sort gnumach kernels in version order (closes: #725451).

I will mark this as Incomplete as suggested by the canned responses:
"13.10 reached EOL on 17 July 2014…Please upgrade to the latest version
and re-test."

** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

Title:
  default kernel order issue with RC and final versions

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  So i have these kernels installed:
  Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.12.0-031200rc7-generic
  Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.12.0-031200rc7-generic
  Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.12.0-031200-generic
  Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.12.0-031200-generic
  Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-12-generic
  Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-12-generic

  When grub.cfg is generated 3.12.0-031200 should be the default kernel but instead 3.12.0-031200rc7 is default
  the default should the 3.12 final instead or 3.12 rc7
