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
