gfxmode/gfxpayload in grub2 doesn't really work properly with the kernel yet. vga= works but only if you use linux16/initrd16 rather than the linux/initrd commands.
However, when you installed grub1 instead, did you have to use vga= as suggested in a previous comment? If so, then to be honest this still feels like a kernel bug for not working out of the box. -- Can't switch to console mode when booting from grub2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
