Grub-mkconfig error(s)

ActuallyJammy · 2023-07-19 14:19:10

So, lately, I've been trying to boot a Kali Linux ISO from GRUB. I used the Kali2GRUB tool and made a few modifications. Instead of using "update-grub," I used "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg." After following the guide and running the command, I encountered the following errors:

Generating a GRUB configuration file...

error: out of memory.

error: Incorrect command.
error: syntax error.
Syntax error at line 279.
Syntax errors have been detected in the generated GRUB configuration file. Please ensure that there are no errors in /etc/default/grub or the files in /etc/grub.d/*. If there are any errors, please report them with the attached /boot/grub/grub.cfg.new file.

First, I deleted the menu entries in the 40_custom file, which resolved the error. Therefore, I assume the issue was related to that. However, when I tried to examine the grub.cfg.new file and locate the reported error line, the file ended earlier. The same situation occurred with 40_custom. At this point, I feel lost and don't understand the meaning of "out of memory." I would greatly appreciate some assistance. Thanks!

You need to post these files to be able to tell what's wrong, both the 40_custom and the grub.cfg.new file. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_o … n_services
