implementation as it necessarily involves a restart of the test system. I am trying to discover if there is some way of restarting a headless server and use a specific grub entry instead of the default. I want to leave the default unchanged until I can prove that any manual changes I make do not negatively impact a system restart.
If anyone knows if this is possible and if so, how it is done, I would welcome the information.
That's a no-brainer: change the default= line in grub from 0 to whatever the entry number is. Note that I'm not sure what happens if you add a kernel update in there, whether the post-install scripts will increment the number so as to continue to point to the correct kernel.
