Hello,
I’ve been building (and using) new / updated kernels for quite a while now.
Since a few months the process of building works, but inserting / adding the newly built kernel into grub2 fails.
“make install” at the end of my building process gives me a - successful - generation of the necessary files in the boot folder and then the messages:
update-bootloader: 2023-09-06 15:47:10 <3> update-bootloader-3800 run_command.335: ‘/usr/lib/bootloader/grub2-efi/config’ failed with exit code 1, output:

The […] represent a list of old kernels previously generated that are being found. I purged those for better readibility.
Anyone having ideas what might go wrong? As I said it has been working flawlessly for years and I don’t remember changing anything that might have an influence on the whole process.
