 Posted: Thu Sep 08, 2011 6:26 pm Post subject: GRUB2 and I, we don't get along very well |
 |
|
I just upgraded to GRUB2, and everything seems to be failing me. The mkconfig script didn't detect my drives correctly, so I had to add the entires to the grub.d files myself. Now GRUB refuses to start in a 1280x1024 resolution (I assume this replaces vga792), and it also uses some odd font.
Here's my grub.cfg:
| Code: |
#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# It is automatically generated by grub2-mkconfig using templates
# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub
#
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ###
if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ]; then
load_env
fi
set default="0"
if [ "${prev_saved_entry}" ]; then
set saved_entry="${prev_saved_entry}"
save_env saved_entry
set prev_saved_entry=
save_env prev_saved_entry
set boot_once=true
fi
function savedefault {
if [ -z "${boot_once}" ]; then
saved_entry="${chosen}"
save_env saved_entry
fi
}
function load_video {
insmod vbe
insmod vga
insmod video_bochs
insmod video_cirrus
}
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos3)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root bea9589c-c26b-4ae2-b1a2-78fb6b01f127
if loadfont /usr/share/grub2/unicode.pf2 ; then
set gfxmode=1280x1024
load_video
insmod gfxterm
fi
terminal_output gfxterm
if sleep --interruptible 0 ; then
set timeout=10
fi
### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ###
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###
### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ###

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###

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

menuentry "Gentoo Linux Lorelei" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
set root=(hd0,msdos3)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root bea9589c-c26b-4ae2-b1a2-78fb6b01f127
echo "Loading Gentoo Linux Lorelei"
linux (hd0,msdos1)/lorelei root=/dev/sda3 ro quiet
}

}
menuentry "Memtest86+" {
linux16 (hd0,msdos1)/memtest86plus/memtest.bin
}
### END /etc/grub.d/40_custom ###
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/41_custom ###
if [ -f $prefix/custom.cfg ]; then
source $prefix/custom.cfg;
fi
### END /etc/grub.d/41_custom ###

and my /etc/default/grub file:

The GRUB menu itself seems to start in 1280x1024, not the terminal. How do I get the terminal to start in 1280x1024?
(If anything is written wrong, it's because I didn't really read the documentation. I just messed with the console until I got something that worked and coupled it with some stuff from Slackware's grub.cfg) |

Before the loadfont line, I suggest adding:
| Code: | insmod video
# http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-851847.html
# http://grub.enbug.org/gfxterm
insmod vbeinfo
# http://grub.enbug.org/gfxterm
insmod font |
And for the loadfont block, I use:
| Code: | # This wacky script taken from http://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel@gnu.org/msg08932.html
if loadfont /boot/grub/dejavu.pf2 ; then
set gfxmode="1920x1080"
insmod gfxterm
insmod vbe
terminal_output gfxterm
fi
insmod png |

| Adding "set gfxpayload=<resolution>" did the trick. Thanks |
