You do it like this: linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-amd64 root=/dev/sda1 3 By the way you can use grub-mkconfig to generate a grub.cfg for you. > I also want to add a memtest entry.

Oh for the graphic mode to work you need to have /usr/src/unifont.bdf file which is for Debian/Ubuntu in bf-utf-source package and then compile grub2 with `./configure --enable-grub-mkfont' so that the fonts files needed for it are generated. And then you can use a background image with something like this in grub.cfg: insmod png background_image /my/image.png or you can use insmod jpeg or tga Themes are not yet supported but Colin's gfxmenu branch will be merged soon. -- Felix Zielcke _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
