i know i can return to a snapshot, i just wanted to report my problem to you and see what caused it and how it can be fixed.

editing thee grub with your built in app should not break my system

#6

That isnt problem it will only give sparse file error and continue booting

I think kernel upgrade might have caused issues

#7

but it does not continue to boot this is the problem

#8

I had this issue when enabling "saving last choice", a btrfs related grub bug :thinking:
