why does grub detect kernel twice?

I am guessing this is why I see the same kernel twice at boot time?

# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Generating grub configuration file ...

done

Here’s what’s in /boot if it helps:

This is happening because of:

/etc/grub.d/10_linux.rpmorig

Removing *.rpmorig and rerunning grub2-mkconfig resolves the issue. Maybe it should ignore *.rpmorig folders.

Well, the problem should happen only if you edited files under /etc/grub.d and normally you do not need to do it. This is the second report regarding this problem. If you are absolutely sure you did not change any file under /etc/grub.d, something went wrong and warrants bug report.

That said, I fully agree that grub should be more strict regarding which scripts are accepted.

I was poking around there, and may have re-saved some file without changes.
