Description André Terpstra 2013-12-27 21:57:18 UTC 
when running /usr/sbin/grub2-mkconfig in order to reflect a minor change in /etc/default/grub the following error occurs:

/usr/sbin/grub2-mkconfig: line 232: /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.new: No such file or directory

Strangely enough, I had run it before a number of times already without errors... BTW, the file grub.cfg.new doesn't exist in /boot/grub either.


Reproducible: Always

I'm fairly confident that this can ONLY occur if you ran the command as:
  grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Line 232 there bases that path on the -o option that YOU passed.
Comment 2 André Terpstra 2013-12-28 09:58:21 UTC 
You are absolutely right. I re-used an old script which contained exactly that line. I apologize.
