To enable boot counting for a specific loader entry you just need to rename it. /etc/kernel/tries simply adds the boot counter to every new loader entry. It will not change existing entries. > I tried playing around with bless boot and changing sd-boot boot entries by adding *+x-y.conf and bless-boot just marked it as good and reset the configuration to *.conf and bless-boot now say it is clean, not good. What do you mean by "not good"? That is exactly what bless-boot is supposed to do. If boot reaches systemd-bless-boot.service it is assumed that this boot entry is good and needs no boot counting anymore. > I am assuming I need to use kernel-install to get it to "stick".
