I recommend trying it. So, this morning, I updated my configuration to: ``` (bootloader (bootloader-configuration (bootloader grub-bootloader) (terminal-outputs '(console)) (targets (list "/dev/sda")) (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))) ``` I reconfigured and rebooted and=E2=80=A6 got the following error right after the "Welcome to Grub!" message: """ error: no video mode activated. """ I broke out in cold sweat and saw my life flash before my eyes=E2=80=A6 but, after 2 seconds, the text menu showed up! \o/ Thanks for your help! :-) --=20 Tanguy
