Description Richard Freeman gentoo-dev 2014-08-04 16:27:11 UTC 
Given the following collection of kernels:
vmlinuz-3.15.5-gentoo
vmlinuz-3.16.0+
vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc4
vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc5
vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc6
vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc6+
vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc6+.old
vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc7+

grub2-mkconfig produces a grub.cfg that makes the default kernel vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc7+.

The default should obviously be vmlinuz-3.16.0+.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2014-08-05 19:52:36 UTC 
Can you reproduce with grub-2.02_beta2 and/or grub-9999?
Comment 2 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2014-08-05 19:58:58 UTC 
And if so, please report the issue upstream.

The output of grub2-mkconfig is the same with grub-9999-r1.  The first menu item "Gentoo GNU/Linux" points to /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc7+.

I'll report upstream.
