While booting no kernel boot messages are displayed. Without the gfx related lines (config file starting from "insmod part_gpt" ), (before menu) error: no such device found (3 times) (while booting) error: no suitable mode found Booting however No menu color change and no kernel boot messages. I am using 64-bit UEFI 2.1 firmware (Tianocore EDK1 DUET UEFI64). How do I resolve this? I want to see the kernel boot messages and be able to boot into terminal (runlevel or init 3), not particular about grub2 menu colors or background image. Thanks in advance.
