I've just tried and it seems to do the trick. After # aptitude --purge-unused purge os-prober # update-grub the new /boot/grub/grub.cfg does not include anything added by 30_os-prober: ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### After all, since the box has one OS only, I don't think I'll ever need os-prober... > As alternative or maybe just do both if you don't need os-prober at all, > set GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true in /etc/default/grub I will try to keep this option in mind, should I need to disable 30_os-prober without removing os-prober...
