[Bug 444495] Re: Grub 2 1.97 Beta 4 Hidden Menu No Longer Works

[Rachel Greenham]

Yes, doing that worked, but with the (little-lamented) loss of my WinXP
boot menu entry. In any case an easy way to get that back was to re-
enable the os-prober, run update-grub, then copy the winxp menu entry to
the end of /etc/grub.d/40_custom. That's just my workaround for now;
ideally we want 30_os_prober to do its stuff, add the menu entries, but
still offer no menu if that's what the user wants.

Anyway, to be specific, as the note above which suggested the os-prober
had a typo, the "fix" was to append the following line to
/etc/default/grub:

GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER="true"

(not OS-PROBER)

Then run update-grub

The text "Grub Loading..." still flashes up momentarily. Can we get rid
of that next? :-)
