I suspect this was caused by a failure in 'dracut' : tail update-core-upgrade-167.log dracut: Executing: /usr/bin/dracut --kver=5.15.35-ipfire --force dracut: *** Including module: modsign *** dracut: *** Including module: i18n *** dracut: *** Including module: dm *** dracut: Skipping udev rule: 64-device-mapper.rules dracut: Skipping udev rule: 60-persistent-storage-dm.rules dracut: Skipping udev rule: 55-dm.rules dracut: *** Including module: kernel-modules *** I presume this should have updated grub but dracut is new to me so I'm not sure what to expect here!
