[Solved] Grub Menu at boot How to remove?

There is a pesky dialog box that starts when the computer starts. It is open for 4 seconds then moves on. It says something about choosing a grub and gives two options. It automatically defaults to the first option after 4 seconds. Does anyone know how to eliminate this and have it automatically default to the first option without the 4 seconds?

This is true, but the OP has made it sound as though he is following the wiki, which instructs you to use the recommended /etc/default/grub.
@OP, grub is not necessarily the right way to go about things. If you really like and know lilo, use that instead. I think the ability to choose your software as you please is one of the really defining aspects of Arch Linux.

No GRUB menu when booting from USB stick with new archlinux

Hi,
I want to try archlinux but I do not have a full backup of my current system right now, such that I do not dare to install archlinux on it. I decided to install it on a USB drive and followed the Beginners Guide considering the hints for installations on USB sticks.
The first issue that I had was that I was not able to to install gurb and it complained that no boot partition was available. I started from scratch again but this time choose the partition type EF02 (bios boot partition) instead of the default 0700 (I only have one partition on the stick). This time everything went fine until I rebooted from the USB stick. Instead of a grub menu I got:
GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB
and nothing happened.
I booted again from the boot cd with archlinux and did the following to examine the grub installation again:
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash
grub-install --recheck --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sdb
>Installation finished. No error reported.
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
>Generating grub.cfg
>Found linux image: /boot/vmlinux-linux

> WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad: No such file or directory. Falling back to internal scanning.
> No volume groups found
>Found LMDE MATE Edition (1) on /dev/sda1
>done
I don't know what the grub-mkconfig output should look like...
Do you have any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Arch!
EF02 is definitely not the type code you want. That is used for a small partition with no file system which grub needs on GPT disks because it cannot fit into the space on disk. You don't install anything into it and it is 1-2MB.
Perhaps https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Usb_installation would help?

(solved) Grub won't boot Vista

Hi!
Just installed Arch Linux and it is great. But after installing Arch I'm not able to boot Windowas Vista. I googled it and added Windows to /boot/grub/menu.lst. Now there is an entry for Vista, unfortunately the bootprozess fails.
Vista is sda1 and I'm able to mount the partition. So it shouldn't be damaged.
Grub says:

[SOLVED] Grub Problems Can boot Arch w/ grub edits only

I had 3 Linux OS's installed on this computer, Arch and 2 versions of Ubuntu on one hard drive.
The MBR belonged to Ubuntu, using grub2. I decided to get rid of the older Ubuntu (sda8 and 9) and add it's HDD space to my Arch home (sda12). Used the current Gparted live to modify the partitions and all went well, but of course, the numbers changed getting rid of 2 partitions.
No boot upon restart so I decided to get Arch's grub back to the MBR with the new partition numbering scheme.
Using a live CD, I used the grub shell, find /boot/grub/stage1.....etc, etc. and after a bit of fumbling, grub indicated success in the shell. When I was through though, a reboot was not successful, although the current stable grub was now written to the MBR. I edited the lines using grub edit option, and got Arch to boot, and figured out the correct partition numbers. Next I edited the menu.lst to reflect the new sda numbers.
Now rebooting results in a long delay when grub should be on the screen, and the numbers on the Arch entries reflect the old numbers still!! I double checked thinking I forgot to save the edits to the menu.lst file, but they are correct. I can boot Arch, but have to edit the lines each time.
The current partitions are as follows. I edited the terminal output to show details.

I have a few questions regarding a separate boot partition for Arch.
Should the grub> root (hd0.0) command be directed to the root or boot partition.
My handy printed emergency guide says: Set grubs root device to the partition containing the boot directory.
OK.....Writing it out now, it seems clear, so I'll try reinstalling grub from a live CD.
Why does grub have incorrect partition numbers even though the menu.lst is correct?
There are only 2 OS's on this box now, and one contains grub2.
Is current grub able to interact with grub 2 if I screwed something up on the install?

OK
I managed to fix the problem of grub not reading/using the menu.lst file. Not sure WTF it was reading and where that file was located!
The problem seems to have been the most insignificant detail.
When using the grub terminal, I did not execute the quit command when I was through. I just closed the terminal and rebooted.
After repeating the following code via live CD a few times:
$ sudo grub
grub> find /grub/stage1
grub> root (hd0,7)
grub> setup (hd0)
Grub still didn't read the current menu.lst.
This morning I got things to work correctly and grub to read the current menu.lst by adding a quit command and returning to the linux shell prior to rebooting.
I used the following commands:
$ sudo grub
grub> find /grub/stage1
grub> root (hd0,7)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit

[SOLVED] Grub won't boot into Arch...

So, this all started when I got this wacky idea of trying Debian on a separate drive.
Installs great, boots up and get a blank screen with blinky cursor..not in the mood to mess with it since I can't find
a reasonable answer for what is wrong with it sooo I boot back into Arch but now I get Error device not found with a "Grub Rescue>" prompt.
Not sure what to do now. I installed grub to the drive I was installing Debian on but it seemed to screw with my precious Arch too
I looked around the forums for help but couldn't find anything.
Also, it goes from post directly to the Grub Rescue prompt

[SOLVED] Grub refuses to boot Arch on a dual boot

Hi,
After hours of trying things out and searching the web for answers, I finally gave up and joined this helpforum.
I found several similar topics, but none seemed to work.
So here's the deal.
My HDD looks like this
sda1 (/boot)
sda2 (Windows7, bootflag)
sda3 (/swap)
sda5 (/)
sda6 (NTFS ExtraData)
So i'm trying to dual boot windows7 and arch.
my menu.lst looks like this:
# (0) Arch Linux

kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda5 ro
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
# (1) Arch Linux

Windows boots fine, but when I try to boot Arch I get this

Thanks,
Chris

I think that the lines
root (hd0,4)
are wrong. They are for GRUB's root (which is /boot), not /. So I think it should be
root (hd0,0)
instead.

[solved] grub won't boot unless live cd is inserted

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to get Arch working on my home computer, however I'm having troubles getting grub to boot. After following the beginner's guide and running through the usual steps, I restarted my computer to boot into my dual-booted Arch/Windows computer. However, every time I try to boot, it fails, reboots, and tries again. Here's what I see on my screen moments before it reboots:
Loading Operating System..
Boot from CD/DVD :
GRUB loading..
After that, it reboots. However, if I insert a live CD of arch and select "Boot existing OS", I get
Booting..
GRUB Loading..
Welcome to GRUB!
and then it goes straight to grub. Does anyone know how I could best start to debug this issue, so that I don't need the live cd just to boot into grub every time?
Thanks!

And what happens if you change it?
It was a hard drive boot priority issue. It had nothing to do with the CD having first boot priority or not. I have two drives, and it was attempting to boot from /dev/sdb first, which was the incorrect drive. Switching boot priority between the two drives fixed this. I'll update the topic.

[solved] grub install fails /boot/grub is not readable

virtualbox install
single partition install (well, I have two partitions, #2 is / and #1 is the BIOS partition as defined in the install docs)
when I get to the stage of installing grub, I use :
grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sda
which fails with
Path '/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting"
it is ext4
fstab looks correct. It shows one entry for
/dev/sda1 / ext4
I am not using UUID although when I did the result was the same.
when run with debug, the problem is
/usr/bin/grub-probe -t fs /boot/grub
results in path no readable.
when I run the grub-probe inside the chroot, I get error: unknown filesystem
haven't had this before. This is the first time I've tried a GPT install.
It is virtualbox 4.2.18

Ah, my mistake was an incorrect partition table back when I partitioned the disk. I did not make a partition table for GPT partitions.

[SOLVED] Grub Entry to boot via UUID

I'm trying to get my system booting by UUID but I am having issues with the grub entry as it won't boot. The following is the non uuid one that works:
# (2) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux sda5
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda5 ro
initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img
And below are the two that I have tried for uuid:
title Arch Linux by UUID (sda5)
uuid 857136db-0356-46bd-9fff-0126b575218b
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=857136db-0356-46bd-9fff-0126b575218b
initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img
and
title Arch Linux by UUID (sda5)
uuid 857136db-0356-46bd-9fff-0126b575218b
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/857136db-0356-46bd-9fff-0126b575218b
initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img
Can someone point out which bit is wrong?
Thanks

Try:
title Arch Linux by UUID (sda5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/857136db-0356-46bd-9fff-0126b575218b
initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img
You may need the root (hd0,4) line as well. I think that is required to tell Grub where to find it's intermediate files. It would go in front of the kernel line.
Edit: I assume, of course, that your UUID is correct You might check that.

Help: Menu 'tips' ? How to remove?

Hi, somehow I changed some setting, and on menus now I see the name of the button in small white letters, superimposed over the text of the menu. It's really distracting. Oddly, I must have changed some setting back, because on a new menu I just created, it doesn't show up. But on older menus in the same project, those names do show up. Any way to get rid of it? (They of course don't show up in the finished project, or when I simulate the menu)
Thanks
(I use DVD SP 4)

Hi
In the View Menu you'll find the *Show buttons aouline and name* option. The same command is in the small buttons bellow the MEnu window, near the left.
I think that's what you are looking for.
Hope that helps !

How to stop the boot process after the GRUB menu?

Hello there.
I am getting an error message in the boot process, after the GRUB menu, but I can't read completely the message because it is shown too fast. So, how can I stop the process when I see the error message, for writing down it?
Thanks in advance.

I didn't try this before, but if you use systemd, you may want to try systemd.confirm_spawn to invoke interactive booting process, so you can start the services one by one manually therefore locate the one throwing out error message.
It is explained in the systemd manual:

I'll try to boot without that line. I noticed that too.
