[Discuss] grub2 question



A while back I made a couple of changes to the default grub.cnf
(/etc/default/grub). All well and good, but at some point when I ran
grub2-mkconfig I had a friend's old Windows drive and grub2-mkconfig
picked up both the XP boot and the Dell utilities. So now when I reboot,
I get my 3 Linux kernels plus Windows and Dell Utilities even though the
Windows drive I was testing was given back to the owner. None of my
existing drives have ever had Windows on them. If I run grub2-mkconfig
it does not remove those old entries. (Certainly I can edit them out,
but they will probably come back the next time grub2-mkconfig is run.

There are no entries in /etc/default/grub or in /etc/grub.d.
