I am getting the following error message (and no kernel boot messages are displayed) - error: no suitable mode found. Booting however What modules cause these errors? Will excluding them from grub.efi display proper kernel boot messages. I already asked this before at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2010-06/msg00029.html and it was suggested to use efi_gop or efi_uga module. I am currently unable to boot my Archlinux x86_64 using bzr main trunk due to corrupted initramfs. Thats why I use the experimental branch (due to newreloc branch). The bzr trunk does not display this error message but causes kernel panic, while the exp branch shows no boot messages but boots into gdm (login screen) in runlevel 5 successfully. But no text is displayed if I try runlevel 3 or single user mode or simply console login. I don't even know whether the boot is successful. I want newreloc (or exp branch) functionality with main trunk's boot messages for x86_64-efi ? How do I get this? Is there any way to force grub2 to use simple text mode of UEFI instead of GOP or UGA, or completely disable graphical terminal in efi in my system? Thanks in advance.
