Help with Bootloader Error Message
-
My RetroPie boots up and shows a raspberry pi logo on the top left and a QR code on the top right with a bunch of text. Next it goes to black screen, then my splash screen, then some login text and finally EmulationStation. How can I get rid of that stuff? It wasn't always there but I thought I'd look into how to get rid of it now that I have some time.
I followed the instructions in the DOCS as far as adding parameters to the cmdline.txt and config.text files in the boot partition without any luck. Here is my set up currently:
Pi 4B (4GB)
Linux 5.4.83-v7l+ armv7l GNU/Linux
64GB microSDcmdline.txt
console=serial0,115200 console=tty3 root=PARTUUID=45bbd4a1-02 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait plymouth.enable=0 quiet loglevel=3 logo.nologo consoleblank=0 vt.global_cursor_default=0
config.txt
disable_splash=1
shell
$ touch ~./hushlogin
EDIT:
The managed to take a photo of the first screen as it's booting up and I noticed on the bottom it says this:recovery4.elf not found (6) recovery.elf not found (6)
From what I found here it looks like the screen is the boot loader and it's showing up because it can't find those files.

Okay, so after some more searching I found out that the screen I'm seeing is the Raspberry Pi bootloader. I can disable it's appearance by editing it's configuration but I'm still concerned about the error message.
Should I worry it can't find "recovery.elf" and "recovery4.elf"?
By the way, I can still boot into RetroPie just fine play games.
