If by "text mode" you mean "no penguin", it's nothing to do with grub. Either you didn't configure it to use a framebuffer (or, perhaps, FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE), or the the options you used are not appropriate to this kernel version. I know nothing about vesafb options, but I think I saw something about vga= on lkml earlier this year. Probably best to start with the ouptut from dmesg, to see if it gives any pointers. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
