Can you attach the bad grub.cfg?
Sorry for the (very) late reply, and sorry, unable to attach it, ext HDD where i install all of the distro is broken. Now i have no choice but to end my distro hopping and take the risk "breaking the company rules by installing debian sid in my workstation for my daily use". However,even if my ext HDD is not broken, since the problem is fixed by doing sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, isn't that will generate the new grub.cfg thus the bad grub.cfg is replaced?
Yes, grub2-mkconfig can be used to create a new working config. Without the bad config file there is nothing we can do. Nobody else has reported problems like this.
