as discussed in https://discourse.maas.io/t/rocky-9-3-deployment/7744

we should stop disabling the BLS entries in grub (GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=false) and include proper support in Curtin.

Yeah... piling on here... I've deployed some RL 9.4 systems that end up having this issue. Grub is reading the grub.cfg from down in /boot/efi/EFI/rocky/grub.cfg ... but the system is building the grub menu in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg when new kernels are installed.

/etc/default/grub definitely shows "GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=false" ... what's the right way to retrofit my system so that it works properly for BLS?

try running grub2-mkconfig --update-bls-cmdline -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Okay... what exactly is the --update-bls-cmdline option supposed to do? I don't see any change to /etc/default/grub ... and I suspect my system is still going to look for the grub.cfg in /boot/efi/EFI/rocky/grub.cfg ... I feel like perhaps grub needs to be reinstalled to look for its grub.cfg in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg ...
