CentOS 7 Dual Boot - Can't find command 'save_env'

Post by McRender » 2014/07/23 09:03:20

Hi there CentOS Community

I've just managed to get my dual boot (Win7x64 / CentOs 7) EFI configuration up and running properly. Now I'm at a point where I'd like to change the default behaviour of the grub2 boot manager to automatic select the last chosen boot option. Like written in the official GNU GRUB Manual,I've added

Code: Select all

GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
to the file located in

Code: Select all

/etc/default/grub

GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 vconsole.keymap=sg crashkernel=auto  rhgb quiet"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
After running

Code: Select all

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/centos/grub.cfg
I have the following grub configuration file on my boot partition

Code: Select all

/boot/efi/EFI/centos/grub.cfg

#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# It is automatically generated by grub2-mkconfig using templates
# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub

   set next_entry=

   set boot_once=true

After restarting and selecting one of the boot options in the grub text prompt I get the following error message

Code: Select all

error: can't find command 'save_env'
Press any key to continue..
Booting in to all operating systems works like a charm but grub can't read out the previously saved entry from the environment block located in

Code: Select all

/boot/grub/grubenv

# GRUB Environment Block
saved_entry=CentOS Linux, with Linux 3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64
#######################################################
The GNU Grub Manual states
For safety reasons, this storage is only available when installed on a plain disk (no LVM or RAID), using a non-checksumming filesystem (no ZFS), and using BIOS or EFI functions (no ATA, USB or IEEE1275).

but I do whether use LVM nor running a RAID configuration.

Does anyone else has run into similar problems like me or has already found a solution? Would be very happy to hear your voice...
