GRUB Doesn't Look Good

[Dead1nside]

Is it just my GRUB that looks rubbish? At boot time, when it asks if I want to boot into the default operating system or to interrupt within the time allowed, it's coloured text on a black background... I'm pretty sure it used to be prettier than that and have a whole screen's worth of some Fedora-based graphic.

When I hit a key to pause the countdown and make a selection, it is the familiar prettified GRUB menu but I'm sure that the screen before that used to be prettier than a black screen and some text. Does anyone know if this is correct?

I did have a problem where on installation I didn't choose to install to mbr so I couldn't actually get into Fedora 10. I had to use the rescue mode and do a 'grub-install /dev/sda' - perhaps this is why?

Mine is exactly the same and I installed onto the MBR the first time around... No big deal, though, since I only have F10 on that machine, thus I don't really care how it looks like.

Thanks for the reassurance. I just wasn't sure if it was my fiddling that had caused it. It's a clear bug though, I'll see if I can dig up a bug report on it.

FYI i have this too but I didnt do any "grub-install /dev/sda".

It would be nice if you can post back any findings.
