I'm trying to do a fresh install on a computer with an existing 20GB windows installation. I have done this for years with no problem, but now grub-mkconfig is returning errors (here's a photo - http://imgur.com/8Az66wx), and if I go ahead with grub-install afterwards, I find that there's no Windows boot option and trying to boot Linux also yields errors (see this photo - http://imgur.com/umfMznr). I've tried twice now with the same results. Any ideas what's going on? Thanks.

Actually I did search a bit and found a lot of discussion about the error in cases where people were trying to use an LVM, and situations which returned errors but still allowed them to boot. My case is a bit different as I'm just using standard hard drive partitions, and Linux is not booting.

Search again, plenty of threads about the 'syntax error' etc.

That helped; thanks. I fixed the issue by running "echo GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=y >> /etc/default/grub" prior to grub-mkconfig and grub-install.
