Still not enough information. Think your doctor would be able to help if
you told him "My leg hurts"? You might get a script for the latest fad
pain killer depending on the level of professionalism of the doctor, but
it wouldn't do a darn thing to fix the problem if you've broken your leg!
We'll need to see the _exact_ commands issued and the _exact_ error
message returned. If you are unable to copy and paste for whatever
reason, you can try and use redirection as opposed to manual typing and
attach the file, for example:
root:/etc/sysconfig# grub-mkconfig -o somefile 2>&1 | tee test.txt
Generating grub.cfg ...
cat: /boot/grub/video.lst: No such file or directory
done
root:/etc/sysconfig# cat test.txt
Generating grub.cfg ...
cat: /boot/grub/video.lst: No such file or directory
done
root:/etc/sysconfig#
You mentioned (literally) "something about blocklists" in your original
message, so it sounds possible that grub thinks that /dev/sda has no
partitions on it. Maybe double check that all of the virtual file
systems (/sys /proc /dev{,shm,pts}) are mounted, but that could be a
wild goose chase given what little info you've provided.
