I can see the system=E2=80=99s UEFI outpu= t and see that it boots from USB, but =E2=80=9CWelcome to GRUB!=E2=80=9D is the v= ery last thing I see. There is no further output. Our GRUB is using fancy graphics, so I wonder if that means that it has switched to a mode that I simply can=E2=80=99t see over my serial connectio= n. Is there a way to make it start GRUB in text mode =E2=80=94 and stay in text mode throughout the installation? -- Ricardo
