For some reason a recent upgrade of grub2 led to a failed configure. I
found other people on Google, mainly ubuntu users,with a similar problem
but no obvious solution. I purged grub2 and reinstalled, but the same
error appeared. That was why I reverted to legacy grub, which at least
allowed grub-mkconfig to work but still the new kernel did not appear at
boot.
