To view the list of supported modes, install hwinfo and run hwinfo -framebuffer as root.

Only the modes supported by the graphics card via VESA BIOS Extensions can be used.

The gfxpayload property will make sure the kernel keeps the resolution. For more information, refer to the GRUB gfxmode documentation. Multiple resolutions can be specified, including the default auto, so it is recommended that you edit the line to resemble GRUB_GFXMODE= desired_resolution, fallback_such_as_1024x768,auto. The preferred method is editing /etc/default/grub as the following sample to set width (pixels) x height (pixels) x color depth: GRUB can set the framebuffer for both GRUB itself and the kernel. This video mode is passed by GRUB to the linux kernel via 'gfxpayload' so any visual configurations need this mode in order to be in effect. Make sure to initialize, if not done already, GRUB graphical terminal, gfxterm, with proper video mode, gfxmode, in GRUB. In GRUB it is possible, by default, to change the look of the menu.

You can then chainload GRUB's core.img from GRUB Legacy or syslinux as a Linux kernel or as a multiboot kernel (see also Syslinux#Chainloading). # grub-install -target=i386-pc -grub-setup=/bin/true -debug /dev/sda

To populate the /boot/grub directory and generate a /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img file without embedding any GRUB bootsector code in the MBR, post-MBR region, or the partition bootsector, add -grub-setup=/bin/true to grub-install: # mount /dev/sdxZ /mnt/boot #Your boot partition (if you have one). # mount /dev/sdxY /mnt #Your root partition. In order to fix this issue the following commands: Unfortunately, the grub.cfg file that is created will not contain the proper UUID in order to boot, even if it reports no errors. The immutable flag on /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img needs to be set only if GRUB is installed to a partition boot sector or a partitionless disk, not in case of installation to MBR or simple generation of core.img without embedding any bootsector (mentioned above). The workaround for this is to set the immutable flag on /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img (using chattr command as mentioned above) so that the sector locations of the core.img file in the disk is not altered. The sector locations of core.img may change whenever the file system in the partition is being altered (files copied, deleted etc.). The reason why grub-setup does not by default allow this is because in case of partition or a partitionless disk is that GRUB relies on embedded blocklists in the partition bootsector to locate the /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img file and the prefix directory /boot/grub. sbin/grub-setup: error: will not proceed with blocklists Without -force you may get the below error and grub-setup will not setup its boot code in the partition boot sector: However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. sbin/grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. sbin/grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partitionless disk or to a partition. Grub-install will give out warnings like which should give you the idea of what might go wrong with this approach: You need to use the -force option to allow usage of blocklists and should not use -grub-setup=/bin/true (which is similar to simply generating core.img). It is recommended to always use this option to remove ambiguity in grub-install. -target=i386-pc instructs grub-install to install for BIOS systems only.Install to partition or partitionless disk To have grub write its EFI image to esp/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi, which the boot firmware will be able to find without any UEFI boot entry, use -removable when you run grub-install. # cp /etc/default/grub /mnt/usb/etc/default Optionally backup configuration files of grub.cfg: # grub-mkconfig -o /mnt/usb/boot/grub/grub.cfg # grub-install -target=i386-pc -debug -boot-directory=/mnt/usb/boot /dev/sdy
