Hi, no it doesn't. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT sets the default kernel options that are used when invoking update-grub. my entries in /etc/default/grub look like: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vga=791" after running update-grub, my /boot/grub/grub.cfg has entries like: linux /vmlinuz-2.6.30-1-686 root=/dev/mapper/main-obsolete ro vga=791 quiet it's true, i should not use the vga= parameter anymore although it still works. greetings, vitaminx -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
