SOLVED: grub 2:2.06.r297.g0c /usr/bin/grub-probe: warning

After update of grub to 2:2.06.r297.g0c6c1aff2-1 I followed what I thought was the advice from the recent arch problems and see an error related to the root drive ie

Code: [Select]
root@rockykat:/boot/grub
# df -h / /boot
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/nvme0n1p1  885G  139G  701G  17% /
/dev/nvme0n1p1  885G  139G  701G  17% /
root@rockykat:/boot/grub
# grub-install --target x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --boot-directory=/boot --bootloader=Artix --recheck
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
Installation finished. No error reported.

I looked in /etc/grub.d and see an older file there from a previous setup ie [b]/etc/grub.d/60_memtest86+[/b]; perhaps that could cause an issue.
root@rockykat:/boot/grub
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

done
I checked the /boot/grub/grub.cfg and see that it seems to have produced a correct linux boot  line and was able to reboot OK. Given the recent problems any error message gives one a bit of a shock so it would be good if this message can be fixed.

I do see a possibly outdated file,/etc/grub.d/60_memtest86+,  from an earlier grub install; perhaps that causes this message.

EDIT: The /etc/grub.d/60_memtest86+ file belonged to a package memtest86+ 5.31b-1 which I think is inherited from the original install (probably artix-xfce-runit). If I remove that package and rerun the above commands the error/warning disappears.
