GRUB configuration for Phoenix UEFI/BIOS

Hello!

I've recently switched from Manjaro to Arch and I'm really happy with the transition.

However the only thing that bothers me is this:

On Manjaro install, GRUB automatically detected Phoenix UEFI and added a GRUB entry for it. However, if I select that option it doesn't redirect me to the usual menu with basic options but to an advanced menu with a lot of settings, including overclocking etc (something that I can't normally access).

I added an entry in grub.cfg for those settings, that is to start fwsetup, but it redirects me to an usual UEFI, not the advanced one.

My question is, to anyone who might be into this: Is there a command to access such menu?

Laptop in question is Lenovo Ideapad S540-14IWL and running latest firmware from their site. I could reinstall Manjaro and copy that grub.cfg entry over, but if there exists a solution I'd rather do that.

Best regards,
Alarg

Re: GRUB configuration for Phoenix UEFI/BIOS

Do you have a backup of the Manjaro grub.cfg?  If so, you should be able to just copy the relevant section to your new grub.cfg.  Otherwise you could regenerate it in Manjaro.

I could imagine `os-prober' having caused the desired entry to be created.
