Dear GRUB folks,
Is it possible to allow unprivileged users to access a submenu but
not enter the command-line interface?
Reading the documentation [1] it’s not clear to me how to do that,
and my tests to do that also failed.
The warning in [2] also hints that it’s not possible.

Dear GRUB folks,
I built Linux 5.4-rc7 with an initrd and additional options
like KASAN selected. When starting the 9.8 MB LZ4 compressed
initrd on a Dell Latitude E7250 with 16 GB RAM GRUB shows:
error: the initrd is too big
UEFI is used and GRUB 2.04 from Debian Sid/unstable.
Any idea, h
Dear Michael,

Thank you very much for going through the reviews so quickly.
This looks good to me, and the support can be extended later on.

How did you choose the switch name `-q`? Are other tools using this
already

By default all file system modules are added to the GRUB coreboot
payload `default_payload.elf`. This makes the image quite big,
especially as
efault_payload.elf
-rw-rw 1 joey joey 832976 Mar 7 12:13 default_payload.elf
So, the resulting payload size is around 370 kB smaller. (Adding it to
the CBFS, it will be compressed, so the effective size difference will
be smaller.)
