so this started with the new beta grub and now I can't update, remove or reinstall grub and since this is a new install I don't have a backup yet, so I don't dare reboot. update-grub says: /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 250: /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: cannot create /boot/grub/grub.cfg.new: File too large
NOW WHAT?
