In the case of GRUB2 that is unlikely to be the case, as it is meant
to do everything. That's why the auto-generated config files are so
long and full of conditionals. On a system you have full control over,
you can remove all the conditionals.
I had grub-mkconfig puke on me recently. I've not spent time diagnosing
why.
/boot was a local disk (/dev/sda1) per Gentoo install documents.
/ (root) was special in that it was /dev/nfs.
Grub (grub-mkconfig) tossed it's salad, saying:
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of
'192.0.2.1:/export/hostname/root'
With a return code of 1.
GRUB2 is incredibly bendy, if only the documentation were as compliant
to the wishes of its users,
Sometimes I wonder just how bendy it really is.
