Grub takes very long (several minutes) to open Menu (in Multi-Boot-System)












0















I have a Multi-Boot-System with 4 different installations of Linux. (1 Manjaro, 3 Mint) spread over 2 hard drives (2 on each).



After doing grub-install /dev/sdX and update-grub several times within each installation ... the Grub-menu needs more and more time to open. It started with a few more seconds, now it takes several minutes.



I tried to purge and reinstall Grub but this made the problem even worse:



 apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-common
apt-get install grub-common grub-pc os-prober
update-grub


What could be causing this problem?
