Else check the generated /boot/grub/grub.cfg It should contain something like that: if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then set gfxmode=1440x900 insmod gfxterm insmod vbe if terminal_output gfxterm ; then true ; else# For backward compatibility with versions of terminal.mod that don't# understand terminal_output terminal gfxterm fi fiFelix, Thanks very much, I will try this.

Well now I'm in deep ...., fortunately, I had some trouble installing Debian Lenny, & someone recommended 'PMagic' CD & it allowed me to boot in to my Linux OS.
In booting up this afternoon, I first got: "Grub loading error the symbol 'grub_puts' not found grub rescue>_" (the under score here was a blinking cursor) Then I made some changes in the BIOS to set another hd to boot... & got: "GRUB loading please wait... Error 15" (& right here, all stop as far as loading went).When I got back on line via the PMagic disk, I tried reinstalling GRUB via the synaptic package manager... that didn't work either
Previously, I looked at the file Felix suggested (/boot/grub/grub.cfg), & there was no such parameters as he indicated there might be.
I tried to follow the grub_install suggestions, to no avail (& probably messed something up).
What is recommended fix... & can I go back to the previous version of grub some how...? It, at least connected with my startup manager (i.e., changed the given, but limited resolutions of the GRUB & start up, making my 1440 x 900 monitor useable at that res.).
Thanks, Henry
