Trouble upgrading from grub legacy to grub2

I tried to upgrade to upgrade 2 and I accidently forgot to use grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I cannot revert back to grub legacy either as it throws me an error when I boot up with it.

Re: Trouble upgrading from grub legacy to grub2

If you look in the wiki here it suggests you try the following:

If you forgot to create a GRUB2 /boot/grub/grub.cfg config file and simply rebooted into GRUB2 Command Shell, type:

sh:grub> insmod legacycfg
sh:grub> legacy_configfile ${prefix}/menu.lst

Boot into Arch and re-create the proper GRUB2 /boot/grub/grub.cfg config file.
