Hi Normand,

I guess that parse error message is coming from
'discover/grub2/grub2-parser.y, line 173', and says it can't
parse line 241 of your grub.cfg file.

Maybe take a look at grub2-parser.y and your grub.cfg file.

  https://github.com/glevand/petitboot--petitboot/blob/master/discover/grub2/grub2-parser.y#L173

It seems like 'hiddenentry' keyword support might need to
be added to grub2-parser.y.
