IIRC you were the one on IRC who brought up this issue. JFTR, we resolved it through: insmod gfxterm insmod vbe and set gfxpayload=1024x768 in grub configuration. It's a grub2 specific issue. grub2 >=1.98-1 introduces a new option named GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX, btw. regards, -mika- -- http://grml.org/ # Linux for texttool-users and sysadmins http://wiki.grml.org/ # share your knowledge http://grml.supersized.org/ # the grml development weblog #grml @ irc.freenode.org # meet us on irc
