Hi danmero,
Unfortunately I get the same error:
[root@performance ~]# sed -i 's/$/\ console=ttyS0,115200/' grub.conf
[root@performance ~]# echo $?
0
[root@performance ~]# export cmnd="sed -i 's/$/\ console=ttyS0,115200/' grub.conf"
[root@performance ~]# $cmnd
sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `''
There is a problem when the sed command is stored in the env variable and then called. This is strange because it works with every other command I tried.

Figured me had a 'typo' in tui-conf-set, i went to fix it.
Now, i also figured, it might be nice to have tui-conf-set report (to console, not only exit code) wether it could save the variable to the file or not.
This said, I appended this code: (the tui-title and tui-echo lines are... (3 Replies)

grub-install.unsupported
GRUB-INSTALL(8) FSF GRUB-INSTALL(8)
NAME
grub-install - install GRUB on your drive
SYNOPSIS
grub-install [OPTION] install_device
DESCRIPTION
Install GRUB on your drive.
-h, --help
print this message and exit
-v, --version
print the version information and exit
--root-directory=DIR
install GRUB images under the directory DIR instead of the root directory
--grub-shell=FILE
use FILE as the grub shell
--no-floppy
do not probe any floppy drive
--force-lba
force GRUB to use LBA mode even for a buggy BIOS
--recheck
probe a device map even if it already exists
INSTALL_DEVICE can be a GRUB device name or a system device filename.
grub-install copies GRUB images into the DIR/boot directory specfied by --root-directory, and uses the grub shell to install grub into the
boot sector.
The grub source distribution carries this script to ease the installation of grub as a boot loader. In Suse Linux however, grub installa-
tion is much better handled by Yast; use of this script is generally discouraged and therefore unsupported. Consequently, the script has
been renamed to grub-install.unsupported.
In order to (re-)install grub for the currently running system, simply use Yast. For an installation aiming at a differing system, the
crafting of an appropriate device.map and grub shell script is strongly advised, e.g. "grub --batch --device-map=target-device.map < tar-
get-grub.conf"
