Is it not 800X600 as default...?

I suspect my video card driver is not loading, so I i just uncomented low resolution:

Quote:

#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true - comented
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true - uncomented

My /etc/default/grub

Quote:

# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
# info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs
# This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains
# the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...)
#GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef"

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
GRUB_TERMINAL=console

# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
#GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

# Uncomment to get a beep at grub start
#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"

For those of you that may have this same issue, just go to /etc/default/grub/, highlight, backspace and paste what I have.

Then run update of grub in root.

Here is a link of a photo of my bootloader:

Just to note: I went back and deleted those other partitions, cleaned it up and reinstalled, again as well. (I had old files on there that I was saving.)

For some reason, the graphical bootloader splash page does not show, I only get the text version in the above picture, but good enough for me.
