Please find it attached.
With a lot of distro-specific noise, as usual.

(file #41518)

Please paste your whole grub.cfg

So I swapped the strings to look like this:

menuentry 'KOS_64' {
        recordfail
        load_video
        multiboot /boot/x86_64-vmkos.img
        set gfxmode=1024x768x32
        set gfxpayload=keep
        boot
}

But this didn't change anything.
The menu has correct mode, but
OS is loaded with the mode from EDID.
I think the related code is in grub_video_vbe_setup()
and grub_vbe_get_preferred_mode(). I don't
see where they looks elsewhere but EDID.

It was before.
Never thought this matters.
Will try swapping them.

Is your gfxpayload=keep before or after multiboot command ? Later one takes precedence

Sorry for the duplicate, but I don't seem to
be able to re-open the original ticket #51466.

If the multiboot header requests the
gfx mode using the appropriate flag,
but the mode parameters are set to 0
for auto, grub seems to be taking the
mode from EDID, ignoring the gfxpayload=keep.
