https://bbs.archlinux.org – Neat, ty, went over to syslinux without any issue. And I can go ahead and pacman -R grub from my system now right? Never https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=17415 2012-11-07T02:06:52Z (HowTos)

Of course you can edit the grub.cfg manually. But you're probably looking for this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GR … ious_entryPS: If you miss GRUB Legacy, Syslinux is very similar: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … bootloaderAnd don't forget to mark it as solved.

Perhaps you can try to install it from the AUR? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=61033I haven't checked if their still is a package in the official repositories. Then again, perhaps you might switch to Syslinux instead of Grub. http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/syslinux/Cheers

Have you thought about trying syslinux?  I was a grub user and when grub2 came about I used it for a while, and thought it was rediculously complex for being the bootloader of choice for a community that touts simplicity over all else.  Syslinux makes me feel like I still have the original grub.  (Though I use it only as a backup to UEFI)

Did you perhaps run into the problem described on this page?https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … ning_toolsIt says:Note: The first partition created by cfdisk starts at sector 63, instead of the usual 2048. This will cause problems with grub2. grub-legacy and syslinux should work fine.

Have you run pacman -Syu and replaced udev with the new systemd-tools - also it may be wise after doing that to run mkinitcpio -p linux and then grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfgSee the following announcement:http://www.archlinux.org/news/systemd-t … aces-udev/

You don't need to uninstall the MBR portions of grub2, the syslinux install will just overwrite them.  Then just remove the grub2 package (after syslinux is set up) if you want to free up the disk space.

Found the solution, files are actually included in grub-common package. Marking as solved.
