Display Boot Menu With GRUB_TIMEOUT=0?

Hi,

On my minimal installation of CentOS 7, here’s what I have in
/etc/default/grub:

GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=”$(sed ‘s, release .*$,,g’ /etc/system-release)”
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=”console”
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”rd.lvm.lv=CentOS_amandine/root \
rd.lvm.lv=CentOS_amandine/swap \
video=1024×768 \
quiet”
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=”true”

According to the official documentation, pressing any alphanumerical key just after the BIOS screen will make the GRUB menu appear. I tried that, but to no avail.

Any idea what’s the magic combination to make the GRUB boot menu appear when GRUB_TIMEOUT is set to 0?

Cheers,

Niki

    if you have 0 cents, you have 0.00 cents, ie, no money.

    if you have 0 CentOS grub timeout, you have no timeout.

    change =0 to =1, then you have 1 timeout wait.

    what? it worked with 6.x? that was 6.x, you are now using 7.x.
