This is terminal window (same you get when entering CLI) where messages from commands are displayed (do not forget that menu entry is simply list of commands, so you *are* entering CLI in a sense). There is no way to disable it. Several years ago openSUSE tried to make it transparent, effectively hiding it; patch was dropped although I'm still not sure if this was some fundamental grub problem or simply unfortunate theme design. If you are interested you could try it if it works for you. While completely removing it may be technically possible (do not open terminal window and add dummy output that does nothing) I'm not sure it is good idea. You want to see errors if booting fails. Actually you want to see where you are stuck as well - so I'd rather add more output (like marking end of initrd loading). _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
