Description of problem: In /etc/sysconfig/grub I have: GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX="vga=normal" Which is probably incorrect but it leads to some interesting behaviour: grub2-mkconfig adds this line to menu entries: set gfxpayload=vga=normal then when grubby runs it changes it to set gfxpayload=vga=normal=normal=normal.. and so on repeating '=normal' 26795 times resulting a 187585 characters long line. The rest of the file looks fine. When trying to boot with this config, grub prints an error message and immediately reboots, without any possibility to recover. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grubby-8.40-1.fc22.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure you have some way to revert your grub.cfg without needing the grub you are trying this on 2. Add "set gfxpayload=vga=normal" (without the quotes) to one of your menuentry sections 3. Install or remove a kernel using dnf Actual results: The resulting grub.conf contains a long line of repeated '=normal'. Inability to boot or even get to grub command line. Expected results: No long lines of repeated '=normal'. Booting just fine. Additional info: This bug was already present in f21.
