Putting the # mark in front of "chooser=simple" doesn't make a bit of difference.
Oh, well, back to the salt mine....

During the 10 second countdown press [TAB] and a menu will appear.
The menu will list your labels
Simply enter the label you wish to boot

Oops! Well, that is embarrassing.

Thanks.

Many thanks for all the good information and for suggesting I look at the docs. That will keep me off the streets and out of the bars.... for a little while anyway.

This was recommended to me when updating from 5.15.19 to 5.15.145 recently, and worked.
After having installed the kernel updates, run the following two commands:

Code:

geninitrd
eliloconfig

finally, reboot.
