Created attachment 355708 [details, diff]
Patch to /etc/grub.d/10_linux

With sys-boot/grub-2.00_p5086, the grub2-mkconfig script when GREP_OPTIONS contains "-n" and multiple kernels are found.  The attached patch resolves the problem, but it also clobbers GREP_OPTIONS.

Steps to reproduce:

$ export GREP_OPTIONS=-n
$ grub2-mkconfig -o /tmp/grub2.cfg
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.10.5-gentoo
Found linux image: 4:/boot/vmlinuz-3.7.10
/usr/bin/grub2-mkrelpath: error: failed to get canonical path of `4:/boot'.

Hmm... this is kind of a gray area.

If you want it fixed, please submit this upstream. If they apply a fix, I would be happy to apply it in Gentoo as well.
