Details:
Using the autogenerated grub.cfg renders the system unable to boot to a btrfs
root partition. Downgrading to version 2.00.1282.g5ae5c54 and regenerating
grub.cfg restores the functionality. Both the non-functional and the
functional grub.cfg is attached for comparison.
The message displayed when attempting to boot to the autogenerated entry:
"ERROR: Boot device mounted successfully but /sbin/init does not exist.
Bailling out, you are on your own. Good luck.
sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
[rootfs /]#"
I have also opened a task in the Arch Linux bug tracker, but wanted to give
upstream a chance to see this as well (hence this ticket).
Link to Arch bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/38566
Steps to reproduce:
1) Install package on an EFI system that uses a btrfs root partition (I cannot
try on an non-EFI system as I do not own one).
2) Mount /boot/efi to $esp.
3) grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi
--bootloader-id=grub --recheck
4) chmod -x /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### this is known to produce bogus entries on
Arch Linux, see flyspray #38455, https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/38455
5) grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
6) Reboot and try to boot the system
My system is an EFI motherboard running Arch Linux x86_64 using all distro
provided packages.
