So according to your output above, this test was actually less than entirely helpful. Upgrading to 1.98+20100702-1 or newer, ideally 1.98+20100710-1, should have sorted this part of your problem out (it looks like you had a stale device path lying around in the debconf database); could you please confirm that? >>> * the background-picture is still not displayed >>> * the resolution of the screen is still bad until the kernel is setting >>> the font later during booting >> >> vga= doesn't work with the 32-bit boot protocol now used by GRUB 2.

GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 is more likely to work with GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep; you can't use hexadecimal mode numbers from vga= in GRUB_GFXMODE. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
