I was using a somewhat non-standard vga=0x376 (AMD RS780 chipset graphics), which is not supported by grub2 (grub2 apparently uses a hardcoded list of vesa modes for vga= parsing which have nothing to do with the mode which the VESA BIOS actually supports).
To get it working I needed: - insmod vbe - set gfxpayload=1600x1200x32 - remove the vga= from the linux command line (grub2 overrides gfxpayload when vga= is set) I'd suggest that if GRUB_TERMINAL=console in /etc/default/grub, then GRUB_GFXMODE is used to set gfxpayload instead of gfxmode. And do "insmod vbe" if GRUB_GFXMODE is set even for GRUB_TERMINAL=console. Plus add some helpful comments about this to /etc/default/grub. PS: I tried GRUB_GFXMODE=1600x1200x32 without GRUB_TERMINAL=console, but grub2 then just appears in a small rectangle in the upper left corner of the screen. I'd prefer text mode for grub, but if graphics mode would work in a useful way I'd just use that.
