Re: [SOLVED] Generated grub file contains syntax error

@dlh  we need specifics...what is your problem that you want to fix?
   is this config not working? where does it take you and where do you want to go?

Re: [SOLVED] Generated grub file contains syntax error

Well the errors show up when:

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

Generating grub configuration file ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-linux-ck
Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-linux-ck.img
Found Windows 8 (loader) on /dev/sda1
error: out of memory.
error: syntax error.
error: Incorrect command.
error: syntax error.
Syntax error at line 159
Syntax errors are detected in generated GRUB config file.
Ensure that there are no errors in /etc/default/grub
and /etc/grub.d/* files or please file a bug report with
/boot/grub/grub.cfg.new file attached.done

Re: [SOLVED] Generated grub file contains syntax error

OK, I found the solution:
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=y

I thought my problem is somehow special, but I was mistaken
