[SOLVED] Grub entry for Arch console-mode

Is there any way to add a grub menuentry to start arch without x?

By menuentry i assume you mean one other than the default for arch.

There is, I believe this may help you. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GR … b-mkconfig

Currently on phone so its too hard to give exact instructions atm. Internets out -.-

You'd probably indeed want a custom GRUB entry booting to multi-user.target. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … _boot_into

Re: [SOLVED] Grub entry for Arch console-mode

Thanks. It works! Step by step:

Copy paste my arch-linux menuentry from /boot/grub/grub.cfg to /etc/grub.d/40_custom.

Find the line that starts with: linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux
On the end of that line add systemd.unit=multi-user.target
