Package: grub-common
Version: 1.99-14
Severity: normal
Hello,
After experimenting a bit with UEFI, it seems Linux kernels require the boot
loader to load a video mode. That is, if you do not load_video and try to boot
a Linux, you will only get:
no suitable mode found
So, perhaps /etc/grub.d/10_linux could be updated so that it calls load_video
before loading a kernel on UEFI?
Regards,
