change the default boot kernel on a headless server

Post by drknut » 2018/12/13 08:38:56

Since the 7.6 update, I have a problem (more on this in another topic when I have enough info to post).

I want to make sure that the new kernel is the culprit. So I'd like to boot with the last 7.5 kernel.

The problem is that I have no boot menu (no display, no keyboard), and grub configuration is far away from my comfort zone.

Could somebody point me to a "how to" ?

TIA

grubby is a command line program for manipulating the grub config, you want the --set-default option.
