--- Comment #8 from Colin Close <itchka at compuserve.com> ---
Girogio I think I may have found the answer to this. The way grub2 is set up in
OMLx3 is not to save the users boot selection so each time a kernel is
installed it is selected as the default. I do not know whether this was a
deliberate change or just an oversight. The old behaviour can be restored by
editing the file /etc/default/grub and changing the line:-
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=false
to
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true

To be on the safe side rebuild grub.cfg as root with:-
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cgf

After rebooting the first item selected from the grub2 menu will be set at the
default.

Please let me know whether this resolves your issue
