You will get lots of "someones" giving sound advice with a search on "remove welcome to grub". > I get welcome to grub .. loading grub then you see the grub menu > Ive set the default time to 0 and updated grub and did initramsfs -u but > still the grub message i.e welcome to grub loading grub then the grub menu > shows > for a split second > > I want make the grub never display not even for a second !! and remove the > loading message as well welcome to grub > > so basically completely silent so I want a black screen until login > > any help would be appreciated Fancy altering the source code and recompiling? From http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2010-02/msg00160.html there is I don't see why you would want to remove this message. It's quite useful as it shows progress in the early initialization stages of grub and should grub crash before getting to the menu you would know it was started at least. It's not possible to configure in a configuration file because it is not loaded at this point yet. Still the message is only in one place in the source and if you remove the printf it is not shown. It is usually not visible in graphics mode because it is cleared when grub switches to graphics and it does not stay long enough to be noticed. To sum up if you installed a version of grub with this printf removed you would not see the message. The default grub build would always show it.
