Grub not using latest kernel

Support
1

Hi all. Newb here.

I have a problem with GRUB… I think.
I installed 6.0, but my system keep booting in 5.19 if I do not specifically change it every boot.
mhwd-kernel -li only shows 5.15 installed, but 5.19 and 6.0 is installed as well when I enter GRUB.
GRUB shows all 3, but automatically boots in 5.19

Manjaro KDE with BTRFS
Thank you

Hi,
I am running 6.0 too, but my mhwd-kernel -li shows:

mhwd-kernel -li                                                  ✔ 
Currently running: 6.0.0-1-MANJARO (linux60)
The following kernels are installed in your system:
   * linux510
   * linux519
   * linux60

… or is your output cut-off?

3

Nope, it is not cut off. That is all it shows, which is weird, since you can see its running 5.19.

4

They look like your custom kernels, not Manjaro-kernels.

5

Correct. From TKG

6

That is why mhwd is made by Manjaro and supports only Manjaro-Kernels.

Maybe you should configure Grub somewhere special that it could support your custom kernel. :man_shrugging:
