I have been scratching my head on this one for a while, basically due to GPU pass-through and certain modules white/black listed as a grub option I needed to tweak the /etc/defaults/grub
The thing *works” as expected, but I'm unable to have grub selecting the first menu reference, it always defaults to the second (Advanced) and this doesn't use the custom grub config I set up so the box crashes and I need to manually be present at the console to select the right grub option at each reboot.
Proxmox VE GNU/Linux is what I want:
but the default highlighted and then auto-selected option is the : Advanced options for Proxmox VE GNU/Linux
I already went through the proxmox-boot-tool refresh and update-grub/update-grub2 with no success.
So long story short: how do I make my Proxmox/grub default to the first option in the menu?
