Editing grub.cfg is a naughty thing to do with Grub2 The "correct"

to do would be to add the fallback to /etc/grub.d/41_custom. However,
Grub
previously automatically detected the fallback correctly. I'm
wondering why

it doesn't now.

After a kernel panic on boot after todays kernel update (unrelated)
while doing things to get back up and running I just realized this as
well. I do not have a fallback image for either of the 2 kernels I run
for arch.


I think after a grub2 upgrade first you have to install new grub to MBR
and then update grub config.

Obviously, there are no fallback kernels, so grub-mkconfig doesn't find it.

ok well not obvious to me as they were there and working before grub2's
most recent 2 updates that came through. Now no longer, sorry if its
just noise

You can try to regenerate them:
mkinitcpio -p linux
mkinitcpio -p linux-qosmio
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

i did a link to /etc/arch-release and solved the grep message. I ran
mkinitcpio again like you said and still the same in boot. Neither the
arch kernel or mine is generating the fallback vmlinuz. Maybe it is a
different problem in relation to today's I think it was mkinitcpio
update. Guess mines is unrelated to OP.

There never were any fallback kernels. The term "fallback" has always
referred to the initramfs image, yet it used to detect them.

This looks like exactly what is needed; thank you.

Hello,

Is there a tool to edit the /etc/grub2.cfg file?
I am not satisfy by the title, the order of the distributions, etc.
Thanks

Yes, there are: vi, nano, emacs, gedit.

This kind of changes you'd like to make to grub configuration may
require playing with files in /etc/grub.d directory.
