kernel specified in start.conf ignored on efi systems

[thoschi]

In our image we have 2 kernel installed - the ubuntu standard kernel and a kernel for surface devices.

We have 2 hardware classes defined, using the same base image.

Recently we realized that the kernel specified in the surface hardware class (boot/vmlinuz-surface and initrd.img-surface) is ignored and instead the standard kernel is booted.

I'm afraid I can't reproduce. I have

Kernel = vmlinuz.old
Initrd = initrd.img.old

entered into the start.conf as an alternative kernel and taken into the grub configs with linuxmuster-import-devices. Then booted with

KernelOptions = quiet splash dhcpretry=5

and

KernelOptions = quiet splash dhcpretry=5 forcegrub warmstart=no

and both times the old kernel was booted correctly.

Obviously a false report.
