Does anyone know how to switch from systemd to grub?

I just need to switch to grub for the extra features, thank you.

Here’s some info that can help you.

That is for switching from dracut to mkinitcpio, not from systemd-boot to grub.

@hssh, it isn’t super simple but the basic steps look like this:

  • Install grub
  • Configure /etc/default/grub being sure to set the proper kernel options
  • Remove kernel-install-for-dracut
  • Install eos-dracut
  • Reinstall all your kernel packages
  • Run grub_install with the proper options for your situation
  • Run sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
  • Reboot, make sure you can get into grub and everything is working properly.
  • Clean up /efi to removing all the kernels, initrds and other systemd-boot specific things.
  • Use efibootmgr to remove the systemd-boot entry

If you just installed, it is probably easier to reinstall.
