I'm sorry, I'm very busy these days. I don't know what message you are talking about, but I still have a lot of mail to read. I don't insist on changing the default, as long as GRUB behaves correctly. I have verified that setting GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=console in /usr/local/etc/default/grub would disable gfxterm, and that should be OK. The only problem I see right now is that it's not documented in the textinfo documentation, so that users won't be able to figure it out without reading the code. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
