There=E2=80=99s one big problem I=E2=80= =99m having: I > cannot see the Grub (legacy) boot menu. It still functions alright, > but I don=E2=80=99t see it. Weird, I have no idea. Just want to say that I am using legacy Grub on ~amd64 just fine. Not grub-static, and the static USE flag is not set. Never had a problem with that. Do you use a splashimage in your grub.conf? Maybe without you will get a working text mode Grub. Not that this should matter, but anyway. Wonko
