Because specifying it manually doesn't work... ask me how I found out. Partial success... the following gives me a working text mode menu just like the standard grub.cfg. ======================================================================== set timeout=15 insmod vga set gfxmode=640x480 set gfxpayload=640x480 insmod gfxterm terminal_output gfxterm search --set=root --label rootfs menuentry 'Linux Experimental' { linux /vmlinuz-experimental root=/dev/sda2 ro noexec=on net.ifnames=0 intel_pstate=disable ipv6.disable=1 } menuentry 'Linux Experimental Recovery' { linux /vmlinuz-experimental root=/dev/sda2 ro } menuentry 'Linux Production' { linux /vmlinuz-production root=/dev/sda2 ro noexec=on net.ifnames=0 intel_pstate=disable ipv6.disable=1 } menuentry 'Linux Production Recovery' { linux /vmlinuz-production root=/dev/sda2 ro } ======================================================================== Unfortunately, just like the standard grub.cfg, it's a tiny-looking text font on my 1920x1080 monitor that I have to squint at. Next step... what do I do to get a functioning GUI? -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
