Created attachment 581588 [details] Steps to reproduce genkernel consistently fails to add a new kernel to /boot/grub/grub.cfg with the following messages: * Adding kernel to /boot/grub/grub.conf... * No /boot/grub/grub.conf found, generating! awk: fatal: cannot open file `/var/tmp/genkernel/14909.13079.25425.58967/grub.map' for reading (No such file or directory) * Error! /boot/grub/grub.conf does not exist and the correct settings can not be automatically detected. * Please manually create your /boot/grub/grub.conf file.

Fails regardless of filesystem /boot is formatted. Workaround is to run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg after genkernel every time. It can be reproduced every time if you create a dummy /boot partition. See attachment.

Please fix that.
That was it! Thanks.
