Configuring GRUB2?

Posted 12-08-2009 at 12:59 AM by Seph64

I tried following the grub2 article at the gentoo wiki with no success on this issue.

it says to:

Quote:

if loadfont /boot/grub/unifont.pf2 ; then
set gfxmode="1280x1024x32;1024x768x32;800x600x32;640x480x32;1280x1024;1024x768;800x600;640x480"
insmod gfxterm
insmod vbe
terminal_output gfxterm
if terminal_output gfxterm; then true ; else
terminal gfxterm
fi
fi

insmod png
background_image /boot/grub/gentoo.png

The only difference is my image is grub.png

When grub loads I see what appears to be a small menu then goes in to the main menu (console) before I can see what items are listed in the first one.

I even followed the grub2 article for enabling graphics mode from the official grub wiki.

Anyone know what I am missing?

Here's my current grub.cfg file (which has the gfxterm configuration based on the instructions set down by the grub wiki article linked above):

insmod video
insmod vbe
insmod font
loadfont /boot/grub/unifont.pf2
insmod vbeinfo
insmod gfxterm
set gfxmode="1440x900x32;1024x786x32;800x500x32"
terminal_output vbeinfo gfxterm

insmod png
background_image /boot/grub/grub.png

### END /etc/grub.d/40_custom ###

Any help will be appreciated.

I'm not familiar with the Gentoo Wiki article. What exactly are you trying to do, and how is what you have done above not working for you?
