1 Grub use ncurses.
2 If you have updated ncurses, you must re-emerge gentoo and install it.
3 I had the same problem on Sunday.

15 Since doing some updates last week which I think included a grub
16 update I no longer get a splash screen. I cannot see my options, but
17 if I scroll down to a Gentoo boot then all fonts are messed up until
18 the init scripts get to level 3 at which time they clear up and
19 everything is fine.

21 Did I miss some instructions about how to finish the grub install or
22 something like that?

24 Thanks,
25 Mark
