Confirmed. 1.96+20090808-1 uses text mode on my ThinkPad T42 as well, while the older version 1.96+20090317-1 I had previously - due to an outdated Debian mirror - used gfx mode. I did not change configuration. I noticed this but it wasn't that important to me, so I did not mention it initially. This is what I have in grub.cfg: 8 ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### 9 set default=0 10 set timeout=5 11 set root=(hd0,1) 12 search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set fb9cbb11-964a-4b92-bde3-50674324e670 13 if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then 14 set gfxmode=640x480 15 insmod gfxterm 16 insmod vbe 17 if terminal_output.gfxterm ; then true ; else 18 # For backward compatibility with versions of terminal.mod that don't 19 # understand terminal_output 20 terminal gfxterm 21 fi 22 fi 23 ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### I have / on ext4. And I see GRUB tries to find the font in /usr. I have /boot/ and / on the same partition, thus it should not be an issue, but still, as far as I understand above, if /usr is not available at boot time, then GRUB will start in text only mode.
