Hi, The easier way is to use my new menu test demo, download resource file at: http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/menu.zip Unzip to the boot partition, you should see many files under /menu/ directory. Then you just need to add this line at the end of grub.cfg: source /menu/menu_efi.cfg It'd boot into graphic mode by default, you can use F8 to switch between text and graphic mode. >>> But I still have no output while booting.

Yep, you need that, debian will enable it by default, I don't know about gentoo thought. -- Bean gitgrub home: http://github.com/grub/grub/ my fork page: http://github.com/bean123/grub/ _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
