[SOLVED] systemd-boot menu isn't being displayed

Here's /boot/loader/loader.conf

timeout 3
default arch
editor  0

Here's /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf

title           Arch Linux
linux           /vmlinuz-linux-lts
initrd          /intel-ucode.img
initrd          /initramfs-linux-lts.img
options         root=/dev/mapper/arch rw quiet loglevel=3 rd.udev.log-priority=3 ipv6.disable=1

# efibootmgr says that the timeout value is 1. What's wrong? neutral

Is your ESP mounted at /boot?

Re: [SOLVED] systemd-boot menu isn't being displayed

Try holding down the space bar during bootup and then use t & T to set the timeout from the menu screen.

Once this is done, loader.conf is no longer honoured -- I have no idea why...
hmm

I just meant that once the shortcut keys in the systemd-boot menu are used then the loader.conf file is ignored -- this may actually be the desired behaviour, loader.conf only being needed if systemd-boot is unable to set those variables directly in the NVRAM.
