Dear Tom H.

I must apologize, I do not know where to find the grub2.conf file?

Sincerely yours,

That must be the result of grubby duplicating a menuentry stanza when
a new kernel's installed because the stanzas have "echo ..."
statements that are probably not being updated when grubby creates a
new entry.

Could you post your grub.cfg?
