Because specifying it manually doesn't work... ask me how I found out.
Partial success... the following gives me a working text mode menu just
like the standard grub.cfg.
========================================================================
set timeout=15
insmod vga
set gfxmode=640x480
set gfxpayload=640x480
insmod gfxterm
terminal_output gfxterm
search --set=root --label rootfs
menuentry 'Linux Experimental' {
linux /vmlinuz-experimental root=/dev/sda2 ro noexec=on net.ifnames=0 intel_pstate=disable ipv6.disable=1
}
menuentry 'Linux Experimental Recovery' {
linux /vmlinuz-experimental root=/dev/sda2 ro
}
menuentry 'Linux Production' {
linux /vmlinuz-production root=/dev/sda2 ro noexec=on net.ifnames=0 intel_pstate=disable ipv6.disable=1
}
menuentry 'Linux Production Recovery' {
linux /vmlinuz-production root=/dev/sda2 ro
}
========================================================================
Unfortunately, just like the standard grub.cfg, it's a tiny-looking
text font on my 1920x1080 monitor that I have to squint at. Next
step... what do I do to get a functioning GUI?
