grubby: doing this would leave no kernel entries. Not writing out new config.
Comment 1 Brian Lane 2015-03-30 23:59:15 UTC 
Please attach the grub.cfg that this happens with.
Comment 2 Bruno Wolff III 2015-04-01 02:34:55 UTC 
I have an empty grub.cfg file as I still use grub for booting not grub2.

/boot/grub/grub.conf with md5 hash replaced

Maybe there is a problem parsing my grub.conf file rather than the empty grub.cfg file.

The effect of the crash is that I get new kernel entries in grub.conf, but without the initrd line. I need to add that manually to be able to boot new kernel entries.
