Testing Proxmox 7.2 & Need Some Help Please

[husskii]

Hi I am testing the Proxmox 7.2 ve on a old Toshiba Satellite L50-A i7 4th Gen with 16gb ram and for some reason when ever i reboot my system it just freezes on the blue screen, the GNU Grub page and i have to hit enter to boot into Proxmox. I've tried going through some posts and editing grub such as

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="quiet intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"

and

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet intel_iommu=on"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

but still it doesn't help and when i update grub and reboot i still get stuck on the blue screen (pic below) until i hit enter.. I would prefer it to just boot into proxmox as eventually i want this environment in another part of the house and access it remotely.

Does anyone have any ideas on what's wrong and how to fix it please, I would really appreciate it.
its the same page as the pic below but with Grub 2.04-20 i just found this image on the forum and recycled it.




this is the page i am always stuck on until i hit enter on the physical machine.

Thanks in advance

***EDIT I have also noticed after reboot it always highlights the 2nd line for Advanced options for Proxmox Virtual Environment GNU\Linux

Grub may think it's failing to boot?

Here is a couple ways to test.

1) Add line GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=0 to /etc/default/grub

update-grub and reboot to test

2) Add line GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=-1 to /etc/default/grub

update-grub and reboot to test

Hi and thanks for the reply, i tried each of the configs you mentions and this is what i get after updating grub

root@pve:~# update-grub
Generating grub configuration file ...
Warning: Setting GRUB_TIMEOUT to a non-zero value when GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set is no longer supported.
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-5.15.35-2-pve

Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
Found memtest86+ multiboot image: /boot/memtest86+_multiboot.bin
Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration

and for some reason which might play a part in it but not sure. is the fact that after i reboot it highlights the 2nd line for
Advanced options for Proxmox Virtual Environment GNU\Linux
and not the 1st line
Proxmox Virtual Environment GNU\Linux

ive tried finding other posts regarding grub config and attempting to duplicate some of them but with no luck.

i dont know if this helps but when i try run the command proxmox-boot-tool refresh i get the following.

root@pve:~# proxmox-boot-tool refresh

root@pve:~# reboot

and this is my grub.cfg file

root@pve:~# grep menu /boot/grub/grub.cfg
