Description nvinson234 2012-03-17 16:27:28 UTC 
grub-2.00_beta2 looks for non-existent ${boot}/grub2/local/en.mo.gz before displaying the boot menu.  File search verifies that the file does not exist in the boot directory.

As best I can tell, it wants /usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/grub.mo which gets renamed to the above file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install grub-2.00_beta2
2.Pause system booting just before the kernel selection menu is displayed
3.Read the error message
Actual Results:  
Error message complaining that '/grub2/locale/en.mo/gz' is not found.

Expected Results:  
no such error message should be displayed.

As workaround you may use LANG=C before grub2-mkconfig:

# LANG=C grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
