ccing andrew in case it's caused by recent changes
(In reply to Sam James from comment #1) > ccing andrew in case it's caused by recent changes This was always the behaviour of eclean-kernel with systemd-boot. I think the problem is that there is no good way for eclean-kernel to know which entry is the default systemd-boot entry. If it is not configured otherwise, the default entry is implicitly the newest.

(In reply to Nick Owens from comment #3) > does this not work? Probably, As a temporary workaround you can call eclean-kernel with the "--num 1" argument which should leave the latest kernel.
