Thanks

Actually the source of the problem is in /etc/grub.d/10_linux (grub2-tools package)

Your grub.cfg is using linux16 command in which case gfxpayload is ignored. You need to add vga= option to kernel command line to force it to use framebuffer.

Hallo,
my system is installed with CentOS 7 (7.1.1503), and it has:

1. grub2-2.02-0.16.el7.centos.x86_64
2. kernel-3.10.0-229.1.2.el7.x86_64
3. xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-14.4-1.eldel7.2.3r.1.x86_64

I want to configure grub2 to use GRUB graphical terminal for both grub and kernel boot. For grub gfxterm works fine but during kernel boot it does not work, the system switches to console mode.

I do not see ""loading kernel.." message + background image during kernel boot

I used to have gfxterm works fine for both grub and kernel boot with fedora 19 which has:

grub2-2.00-15.fc18.i686
kernel-3.10.0-123.13.1.fc18.i686

Thanks
Ghani
