Hello! One of my test systems uses "vga=1" on the command line, which enables 80x50 text mode. After updating GRUB, I don't have that option anymore. I'm using text mode GRUB, and I would prefer not to be forced to use gfxterm.
If I add vga=1 to the kernel command line, I get: Unable to initialize requested video mode (vga=0x1) error: Can't locate valid adapter for mode If I use "vga=ask", I get: error: You need to load the kernel first. Totally unhelpful. But if I even the entry to remove "vga=1" after having tried to boot with it, I get the same message as with it! I believe grub_cmd_linux() should initialize the vid_mode variable every time, whether "vga=" is found or not. And if I try "vga=ask" and remove it, the system reboots. No idea why. I add those options at the end of the Linux command line. In my opinion, GRUB should keep kernel options alone unless 1) GRUB knows exactly what is requested 2) GRUB can actually do something useful In case of "vga=ask", GRUB doesn't know the option and it cannot help because it's in the text mode. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
