This problem should be gone by now, try the cvs version ? BTW, I think you should use bios if you can. I remember seeing some post about the video driver needs video bios for initialization. In pure EFI mode, it will fallback to frame buffer mode which is slower. I don't know if this have been fixed by now. -- Bean _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
