now we have exactly what i said will happen: users in trouble does not know how to boot the still installed older kernel because they never learned that there are more than one because they never faced it as all the years before
My grandfather still believes those are multiple _different_ Fedora installations, each having different games/files. As he has also CentOS menu item there having multiple Fedora items is just too much for him.
explain it to him
A proper fix would need to be more thorough as in the case of multiple different OSes installed you should always get the menu choice:
Always present only the latest kernel there, hide all older kernels under the menu item "Advanced options for Fedora".
Do not display the menu if there is only one option available. (Sure not counting the "Advanced options for Fedora" menu item.) Sure still the menu gets displayed on holding the SHIFT/ARROW key.
Failed boot of a new kernel is a rare case needing assistance of someone more capable of admin work. Such person knows how to display the menu
says who?
* as i faced the first unbootable system after a kernel update it was Fedora Core 3 * i had no big Fedora expierience at this time * i did not need assistance of someone more capable of admin work
why?
* because i saw the menu from the very first beginning * because doing nothing the next boot-step after that menu failed * so what did i: look waht happens if i chosse something other from the menu
