Hello, I use btrfs with snapper and grub-btrfs (https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs) for my laptop. I needed to roll back last Dec and at some point I noticed that my kernel stays at 6.6.62-gentoo-dist. I do have 6.6.67 and 6.6.74 on my /boot but they won't show up in grub. I've done the grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg many times and it finds the kernels but at boot they won't be available. Also in the grub menu I can only find old snapshots from 2024.

Here's the output of grub-mkconfig -o:

Code:

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

this is a bit odd Boot0000 is EFI/gentoo/grub64.efi but my EFI at root is empty and the /efi partition has /efi/EFI/gentoo/grub.cfg and grubx64.efi)

Code:

sudo efibootmgr

I'll try to symlink the /efi/EFI/gentoo/grubx64.efi to my EFI if you think its ok.. (I'll wait for your input)

My quess is that I'm somehow in my snapshots as my root and it just boots to an old grub config but can't figure out how to change this behavior.

I assume that they're not showing up in the "Advanced Options" menu in the grub boot menu, is that correct?

They don't show up. Only the 6.6.62 and older ones are there

Mmm yea, that's rather strange. According to that output, grub should be configured perfectly... What's likely happening here is that grub is pulling an incorrect or outdated configuration file when booting up, for whatever. How exactly do those snapshots of yours work? How'd you set them up?

I always use Gentoo Wiki. For this Btrfs page + snapper page and then the grub-btrfs (link in my first post) to add the menu entries to grub. My setup automatically takes a pre and post snapshot of every emerged package when I run sudo emerge -uDN @world. I usually clean these snapshots except the last one after a successful reboot.

I think my issue started last Dec when I needed to "go back" after my system didn't boot. I think I'm on the snapshot and it just has the grub.cfg somewhere which won't get updated with sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

If this issue is not solved easily I'll try to change btrfs to ext4 for my SSD.

I don't know if this'll work, because I do not use those tools, however this may be worth attempting. Recreate your grub configuration via grub-mkconfig. Once you've done that, manually create a new snapshot using snapper create (please make sure you read the manpage or snapper --help if you've never done this before), then restart your machine and boot into that new snapshot. In theory, assuming that everything works correctly, this should grant the booted system access to the up to date grub configuration and make the newer kernels available.

That's what I've tried few times already. I always see the old grub menu with the same kernels and snapshots. They don't change no matter what Ive tried. I even tried to use the Debian's grub (it's on Sam SSD) but it also finds these same entries even if I update it's grub with os-prober enabled. No new kernel/ snapshot shown.

Just to clarify, when you boot your system, do you select a snapshot from the snapshots menu or do you just boot into the root snapshot (which is the snapshot that grub-btrfs should boot into by default if nothing is selected)?
