That's how I do it too. Plain old grub on many amd64 systems, nothing |

special. I do disable splashimage too, it never seems to work for me |

When grub is running and showing it's menu, the only thing active |
| 24 |
video-wise should be good old VGA. Hard to imagine what could go wrong |
| 25 |
with VGA in 80x25 text mode |
