Install via grub2 fails mkinitcpio -p linux

The following error message was received:

[root@n6re /]# mkinitcpio -p linux
==> Building image from preset: 'default'
  -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img

[root@n6re /]# 

Is there a way to fix this preset problem?  It seems to create several problems in my recent attempts to install.

Re: Install via grub2 fails mkinitcpio -p linux

it seems you are trying to install grub2, in this step you must change directory to /boot and use this command : mkinitcpio -p linux

in root directory it's maybe fail.

try it and reply your error.
