error: serial port `com0' isn't found.

When I try to install Archlinux from USB flash drive, the following message appears on the screen for about half of a second before grub menu appears.

error: serial port `com0' isn't found.

everything working well and installing process continues without any problem. I just wanted to know what is this message and how can I make it go away.

I am using asus rog751jy and current archlinux 2023.03.01.
thanks.

Re: error: serial port `com0' isn't found.

what is this message

GRUB serial console support is enabled by default in Arch ISO. If you do not have a serial port, GRUB will report this.

how can I make it go away

Running Arch ISO on a machine with a serial port or creating a custom ISO with a different GRUB configuration.
