AHA! Well, confusion rises ... So, my grub-legacy configuration uses none of video or vga options...is there a way to test if efifb is working with my kernel, anyway? I think a hint where to search should be enough. Just to get this right: If I use any framebuffer beside efifb, I need to load a video bios? And last, but not least: What does "Linux loader" mean? greetings, Stefan _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
