I do now see i have 2 zen kernel entries in systemd-boot showing up and also the images under /efi/XXX/
It could be me i hope this is not a general issue, as i set it to boot from zen kernel and it boots on the old kernel images not the updated
default XXX-*.*.*-zen*-*-zen.conf (XXX is my UUID)
Wonder if anyone else using zen kernel and systemd-boot have the same?
I cannot confirm this. Use systemd and as you can see all kernels are listed as they should be
[root@starship XXXXXXXXX]# ls
6.12.25-2-lts 6.14.4-arch1-2 6.14.4-zen1-2-zen
I am using the zen kernel and systemd-boot and it looks OK on my system.
There are a few scenarios that can cause this:
/efi after/efikernel-install-for-dracutHow would I check this?
Go to your main directory with su. Under /efi/ you should see a folder with a longer sequence of numbers. Then open it. I have only made this sequence of numbers unrecognizable with XXXXX
I had a corrupted ESP before and recreated it.. but thats some times ago already, and the 6.14.2 i had hanging there is not that old.
No clue what i could have done to generate images without having esp mounted but could happen for sure.
In general it will remove old images first and after that it will rebuild them. I try to replicate with downgrading and updating again now.
No all good.. must have been me or hickup.. could be something with dkms?

Probably not dkms issue in the EFI partition. The dkms modules don’t live in the ESP.
It removes the files as a pre-hook, before it starts installing the new files, then there is a post-hook which generates and copies the new files.
true.. i bet i was may updating initramfs ( reinstall-kernels ) from chroot and not having esp properly mounted one day by accident
