Bootloader countdown timer stuck at 4 seconds

I seem to have a problem for one the servers that i am handling, i have reinstalled CentOS for nth times, and formated everything, edited the grub.conf time out = 0, but all still the same, the grub timer wont move, always stuck.

Solution

  • Try adding this to /etc/default/grub

        GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
    GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=$GRUB_TIMEOUT

    Then run sudo update-grub

    Support for GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT was added in the middle of the 12.04 cycle, starting from version 1.99-21ubuntu3.3
