Description:
When using grub-mkconfig to generate /boot/grub/grub.cfg, the default string "core repo kernel" is displayed instead of the actual kernels' versions.
The concerned script file is /etc/grub.d/00_header, at line 192 :

version="core repo kernel"

which could be replaced by a fancier :

version=`uname -r | sed -e "s,\-ARCH$,,g"`


Additional info:
* grub2-common version : 1:2.00beta2-2

This won't work if the current running kernel is not same as the detected kernel file.

By the way, the script file that is actually concerned is /etc/grub.d/10_linux (and not 00_header ...)
