Grub 1:2.02.beta1-1 generates an extra entry for same initramfs image

Here is the output of grub-install and grub-mkconfig:

The generation of conditional menu entries for each supported architecture might be intended behavior, but it generates an extra one for the same architecture with the awkward name "Arch Linux, with Linux linux".
The other ones also have the weird name "Arch Linux pkg-linux kernel".

Re: Grub 1:2.02.beta1-1 generates an extra entry for same initramfs image

I've had the same problem after I updated to the latest test grub. I couldn't boot up properly afterwards, had to switch back to the core one.

Re: Grub 1:2.02.beta1-1 generates an extra entry for same initramfs image

This issue is fixed by upstream and is included in grub 2.02-beta2.

Re: Grub 1:2.02.beta1-1 generates an extra entry for same initramfs image

Yeah, I have two sections inside my /boot/grub/grub.cfg bounded by ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_archlinux ###

So I get a long list on boot:

Arch Linux pkg-linux kernel
Arch Linux pkg-linux kernel (fallback initramfs)
Arch Linux
Arch Linux Advanced Options
     -->Arch Linux with Linux linux

Re: Grub 1:2.02.beta1-1 generates an extra entry for same initramfs image

I downgraded grub package to.

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/grub-1\:2.00.1282.g5ae5c54-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

After doing command

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

i got sam errors and here is the solution https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/38041.
Now i have no extra entry in grub.
