--- Comment #78 from John Ellson  2011-12-02 08:52:55 EST ---
I still got this error with fc17 this morning:
   kernel-3.2.0-0.rc3.git0.1.fc17.i686
   grubby-8.3-1.fc17.i686

Finally, after spending too long reading this tome, I found comment #68,
removed /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, reinstalled the kernel, and the problem seems to
have cleared.

Why after *7 years* are the grubby error messages not improved?    How hard can
it be for grubby to report that "/boot/grub2/grub.cfg is empty".   Or if it is
benign, why not just remove it without generating an error?
