From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is every kernel update for me on Fedora. For some reason root is not set.
Yours will copy a record in your grub config, for every kernel install, because that's the easiest way to get your ancillary settings. If it's happening truly every time, then I'll bet that's borked somehow.
I ran into this because grub config now needs an additional magical parameter no one mentions, because it manages new bits to create the parts it needs with your old setup to solve no real problem. It could also be keeping a bad root statement and perennially dropping it into every new boot config. Yay! I don't remember what it was and I'm not at work, but I'll try to check later and see if I can offer some help.
Oh. Do tell. Curious.
