Does this still work? For me it doesnt, but maybe I'm just stupid?

I have grub2 set up, with GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 and GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=1, thats working with no problems. Grub menu not showing unless I hit Esc. Of course, annoying "Welcome to Grub" message etc is still displayed.

Now if I remove grub, compile grub-silent from aur and try the same thing, it just wont work. I always see the grub menu, not hidden, for 30 secs. Editet /etc/default/grub.silent, remade grub.conf, but still same issue... Even tried replacing grub.silent with a copy of my original grub file, doesnt help. Really strange! Any tips?

EDIT: ok just me being stupid! Solution: When switching from the "normal" grub package, delete /boot/grub just to be sure. Then, after installing boot-silent and setting up config, run "sudo grub-install" then "sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg". Done! Hope this saves someone some headache ;-)

EDIT2: ... well or maybe not?

sudo rm -rf /boot/grub

sudo grub-install

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

reboot, grub is silent like it should. But if I run "sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" a second time after reboot, grub menu reappears, with 30 secs timeout. So after deleting /boot/grub and reinstalling, it works just until I run "sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" again... then I am back to menu with countdown!

Am I the only one with this issue? For those using this too: Could you try to run "sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" again and see if the grub menu is still hidden?
