Does anyone know if it is possible to 'hide' a grub menuentry with
CentOS 7 ?
I have a custom menuentry that I don't want to be seen on the grub
screen - but it needs to be selectable as the entry to boot via
'grub2-reboot'
I've scanned the grub2 documentation - but I can't find anything
obvious - so I'm guessing it can't be done - unless someone knows
otherwise ?
I believe that you can accomplish what you are after by changing the
quoted menuentry label in grub.cfg:
menuentry 'CentOS Linux (3.10.0-1062.1.2.el7.x86_64) 7 (Core)' ...
to just a blank:
menuentry ' ' ...
for the specific entry. I do this for the windows side of my
dual-boot laptop. I boot to windows by scrolling down to the blank
line below the centos entries.
Looks like this might work - I can use a 'blank' label and also use the
'--id' option to allow grub2-reboot to select the required menuentry by
its 'id' ...
Thanks
