Hi
I am using custom subentries to boot Archlinux (normal or fallback).
However I have to place the subentries in a sepecific order in the config.plist and I dont understand why.
Extract in config.plist:
When I place the entry like this I can only boot the "fallback" image.
When I swap the 2 subentries around I can boot both ... I have no clue why they have to be in that order?
It is also not very practical to have fallback image first because now I am forced to always go to submenu and select normal kernel before I can boot.
Is it normal that I have to specify the subentries in a specific order? Just seems weird, that I cant boot the normal kernel if its specified before the fallback kernel.
Changing root= to root=UUID or root=PARTUUID has the same outcome.
thx
