I didn't realize one could do this. What language is grub running here? Is this bash or something else? Just how much programming can be done in grub.conf? Not that one should ever do anything complicated in a grub config. > Remove "quiet" so you can kernel output. Add This did it! I added the code as you recommended, removed quiet, and saw: Preparing to load kerenl Kernel loaded: preparing to load initrd Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... The stupid EDD problem! How embarassing. I've seen this before and would have known exactly what to do if the kernel hadn't been hiding things from me. I normally remove quiet etc. to see the boot messages too. No idea why I hadn't tried that already. Probing for EDD on boot with the SATA drives in was causing the hang. But only with the combination of NVMe and SATA in the system at the same time. Weird. I don't understand much at all about how this EDD magic works but is is very annoying! Thanks all for the suggestions! At least I learned a few things about grub2 along the way. -- Tracy Reed
