GRUB2 file not found errors

I did a grub-mkconfig today after installing a new kernel, but it seems like there's an error in the generated grub.cfg file.

Now, whenever I boot to any of my kernels, GRUB2 shows three lines of "error: file not found" error" and then it asks me to "Press any key to continue". Everything else works fine though, I can boot into my system. I'm just curious if this is something that may potentially cause future pains, or if I can simply ignore this.

Re: GRUB2 file not found errors

Upgrade grub2 package, update boot code using grub-install and then re-generate grub.cfg . Without the first two steps, new grub.cfg will not work.

Re: GRUB2 file not found errors

Is that still required? I've been using GRUB2 for months now. It's not a recent GRUB upgrade. It's only that I haven't run grub-mkconfig for some weeks.

That is how its supposed to be done everytime. Either do all the 3 steps or don't upgrade at all. Just do not upgrade grub.cfg alone and then complain about things not working.
