Hi there,
grub2 circumvents the text modes setting with a linux cmd line like vga=6.
This is really bad.
Is it possible to enable vga text mode setting for a different mode than the normal one?
See also grub-core/loader/i386/linux.c lines 773ff
It like to choose e.g. one of those
(from vga=ask with old boot image)
