When a fresh install of grub is done, the file ${BOOT}/grub/default is missing. Therefore, any config with "savedefault" directive fails to boot with the confusing error message "Error 15: file not found". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. do a fresh grub install 2. use a config with "savedefault" 3. failure to boot Actual Results: The config entry failed to boot. Expected Results: Should have started the machine.
Maybe you should read the fine manual and run `grub-set-default 0` or whatever else before filing bugs.

Yes, I know that this is a fix and have already used it before filing the bug. But perhaps the ebuild should simply run this command at the end, because it would prevent a hard-to-track problem from occuring (the grub error message is confusing, to say the least). I know that in an ideal world, everybody reads the _fine_ manual before doing anything else, but still, people tend to forget things once in a while..
The ebuild shouldn't run anything like that at the end because it doesn't install any savedefault entry anywhere in grub.conf. If you are using one, you should know what to do.
