Forcing grub2 to display in console text mode

[wangmaster]

Anyone know the proper way to force grub2 to display in console text mode (aka disable the framebuffer?) I don't need to disable the linux console framebuffer, just disable the framebuffer for grub2's boot menu.

in framebuffer mode, grub2 is kind of slow to respond and it's irritating me

Try adding this line to /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_GFXMODE=text

Then run this command (as root) to update your GRUB configutarion:

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Perfect. Thanks. One thing about grub that sucks is it's documentation
