Details

I found that grub-mkconfig is no longer working on my system (partially produced the config file but no kernel entries were added to the file). I tracked it down to a segfault in grub-probe while running "prepare_grub_to_access_device" from /etc/grub.d/10_linux:

[root@tuon ~]# grub-probe --device /dev/md1 --target=hints_string
Segmentation fault

[root@tuon ~]# pacman -Q grub2-bios grub2-common linux glibc
grub2-bios 1:1.99-6
grub2-common 1:1.99-6
linux 3.2.9-1
glibc 2.15-7
This task depends upon

@kmshanah: Can you try the packages at https://www.dropbox.com/s/jep9t8edsgx3yt6 ?

Where did those packages come from? Do you have a PKGBUILD for those?

I'm a bit uncomfortable downloading random binary packages from a dropbox account...
