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

[Christopher Chavez]

Using the same packaged mainline kernel example I just did with
grub2-2.02~beta2-19, the issue IS still present:

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.18.0-031800rc7-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.18.0-031800rc7-generic
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.18.0-031800-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.18.0-031800-generic
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-44-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-44-generic
…
and it boots 3.18.0-031800rc7 by default.

So I'm not sure what the discrepancy is between this not working and it
working as in comment 3, unfortunately.

Title:
  default kernel order issue with RC and final versions

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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
