Hi, You can use search command to locate the root device.

If you use my repo, you can enable graphic mode for EFI, it even allows you to set a background image. Add these lines in grub.cfg: set gfxmode="0x0" loadfont /unifont.pf2 terminal_output.gfxterm background_image /splash.png You need to include these modules when generating grub.efi: video efi_fb gfxterm font png jpeg unifont.pf2 is the font file, you can generate it using grub-mkfont, or just download it here: http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/unifont.pf2 -- Bean gitgrub home: http://github.com/grub/grub/ my fork page: http://github.com/bean123/grub/ _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
