Source: grub2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
The file 'debian/default/grub' in the GRUB 2 source code tree, which
becomes
'/etc/default/grub' when GRUB 2 is installed, has an incorrect comment
line.
Such a line says that the text-mode terminal only works in 'grub-pc'; I
have
tested the functionality with 'grub-efi-amd64' on my MacBook and it
works
perfectly, with an 80x25 character EFI console centered on my MacBook
screen.
Though I am not sure, this functionality may also work with PowerPC, IBM
POWER,
and Sun SPARC machines.
A patch is attached against the GRUB 2 source code tree, which will fix
this
problem.
