Issue

  • Why does grub2-mkconfig command not reflect configuration change in /etc/default/grub?

  • There are multiple same parameters in /etc/default/grub. The latest parameter is only affected.

    $ /cat etc/default/grub 
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DEFAULT=1
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="crashkernel=512M"  <--- This option is not present on boot line
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="audit=1"           <--- This option is only one present at boot time
