Hi,

I have a problem with grub2.
Recently (after updating to wheezy) grub has been upgraded to
grub2. All
fine and well, but it started looooong floppy seek at the boot,
which is
sort of annoying, as it's a home PC, switched on every day. I
tried
looking for solution, but I could not find anything to solve
the problem.

The floppy seek is off in the BIOS,
/etc/default/grub
contains
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true

I wonder if the problem is a file not mentioned in the GRUB
documentation, (which seems to be manually created custom
config, but I
didn't create it):
/etc/grub.d/41_custom

#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.
Simply
type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment.  Be careful
not to
change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
misiek@cavern:~$ more /etc/grub.d/41_custom
#!/bin/sh
cat <<EOF
if [ -f  \${config_directory}/custom.cfg ]; then
   source \${config_directory}/custom.cfg
elif [ -z "\${config_directory}" -a -f  \$prefix/custom.cfg ];
then
   source \$prefix/custom.cfg;
fi
EOF
