Package: grub-pc Version: 1.96+20090309-1 Severity: wishlist
It would be a nice feature if the video mode would be passed to the booting kernel and so the resolution and background image stay there for the boot messages. As issued at the grub mailing list ( http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2009-03/msg00121.html), Robert Millan made a patch for this. With kind regards, Bert Reuer -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/disk/by-uuid/9a9bfe66-b8f9-4f89-afd3-72636774493e / ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hda *********************** END /boot/grub/device.map *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig using templates # from and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### set default=0 set timeout=5 set root=(hd0,1) search --fs-uuid --set 9a9bfe66-b8f9-4f89-afd3-72636774493e if loadfont /usr/share/grub/ascii.pf2 ; then set gfxmode=640x480 insmod gfxterm insmod vbe if terminal_output gfxterm ; then true ; else # For backward compatibility with versions of terminal.mod that don't # understand terminal_output terminal gfxterm fi fi ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### set root=(hd0,1) search --fs-uuid --set 9a9bfe66-b8f9-4f89-afd3-72636774493e insmod png if background_image /boot/grub/moreblue-orbit-grub.png ; then set color_normal=black/black set color_highlight=magenta/black else set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue set menu_color_highlight=white/blue fi ### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.28-1-686" { set root=(hd0,1) search --fs-uuid --set 9a9bfe66-b8f9-4f89-afd3-72636774493e linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-1-686 root=UUID=9a9bfe66-b8f9-4f89-afd3-72636774493e ro vga=794 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-1-686 } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.28-1-686 (recovery mode)" { set root=(hd0,1) search --fs-uuid --set 9a9bfe66-b8f9-4f89-afd3-72636774493e linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-1-686 root=UUID=9a9bfe66-b8f9-4f89-afd3-72636774493e ro single vga=794 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-1-686 } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.26-1-686" { set root=(hd0,1) search --fs-uuid --set 9a9bfe66-b8f9-4f89-afd3-72636774493e linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=UUID=9a9bfe66-b8f9-4f89-afd3-72636774493e ro vga=794 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686 } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.26-1-686 (recovery mode)" { set root=(hd0,1) search --fs-uuid --set 9a9bfe66-b8f9-4f89-afd3-72636774493e linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=UUID=9a9bfe66-b8f9-4f89-afd3-72636774493e ro single vga=794 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686 } ### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### # This file is an example on how to add custom entries ### END /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### *********************** END /boot/grub/grub.cfg -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages grub-pc depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.26 Debian configuration management sy ii grub-common 1.96+20090309-1 GRand Unified Bootloader, version ii libc6 2.9-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries grub-pc recommends no packages.
