I think that you mean "set gfxpayload=keep". I did not mention it because it has not worked for me (my boot-up stops with a black screen) but I have seen various sites that recommend it. I am also at work without access to my grub2 setup and not only did I forget "insmod vbe" but "insmod gfxterm" too.
