Details:

It is the release grub2-2.00-86.14.x86_64.rpm.

I have OpenSuse with BtrFS and Windows 7. It happened to me three times that
GRUB2 didn't show boot menu, but instead said:
'error: sparse file not found' and started SuSe.

It is serious error, because it doesn't allow to launch Windows. Fortunately,
OpenSuse can fix it every time it happens.
