Hello!
I have a question regarding the content of Grub Menu vs. /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
In my case the content is inconsistent.
And this is causing an issue with booting a BTRFS snapshot, because the
required snapshot won't boot with the options displayed in Grub Menu.

I'm running these software packages:
Debian 9.9
grub-common = 2.02-pve6
grub-efi-amd64 = 2.02-pve6
Linux kernel = 4.15.18-14-pve

If you check the attached screenshot, the line "linux" and "initrd" are
different compared to /boot/grub/grub.cfg:
#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates
# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub

Can you please share some information on this inconsistency and advice
how to fix it?


Update:
After reinstalling of Grub the issue is solved.
I just don't understand why this step is required after installation of another Grub package.
