Hello,
I recently moved to a efistub UKI kernel install, following the official documentation [1] [2].
The problem that I have is that the boot order is not updated to the latest installed kernel, only next boot gets updated but then not persisted. And outdated and removed packages do not get deleted from the boot list.

I am using the following USE flags as instructed by the documentation.
Code:
sys-apps/systemd-utils boot kernel-install
sys-kernel/installkernel systemd uki dracut efistub


This is on a machine with
Code:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64"
.

And necessary packages to get efistub and UKI working with their enabled USE flags.
Code:
[I] sys-kernel/installkernel
     Available versions:  48-r1 {dracut efistub grub refind systemd systemd-boot ugrd uki ukify}
     Installed versions:  48-r1(08:41:16 08/26/24)(dracut efistub systemd uki -grub -refind -systemd-boot -ugrd -ukify)

kernel-bootcfg-boot-successful service is enabled at default run level.

What could be the reason to not update the boot list and boot order?

Please share the output of:

Code:
emerge --config gentoo-kernel


And:

Code:
systemctl status kernel-bootcfg-boot-successful

What motherboard is this? It could be that manipulating the boot entries and/or boot order is not supported/allowed from the OS by the UEFI.

I can use efibootmgr to update EFI entries (running emerge --config gentoo-kernel created a new entry in the EFI list and set it to BootNext, but it does not get persisted and falls back to the previous boot order).

Do you have two ESPs on the same hard disk?

Which of the boot entries from "efibootmgr" does not persist?
And Boot0000 and Boot0010 seem to be identical (beside case sensitivity).

I never tested this on an openrc system, so it may very well be that there is some bug in this service file. Could you share the openrc logs?
