Also it is using legacy BIOS instead of UEFI to boot (UEFI Compatibility Support Module). Some more info, where I‘m not sure whether this is relevant in this case: Due to the old system, the harddisk still uses msdos partition table instead of GPT. Has anyone some advice how to make the GRUB menu visible again and/or how to force it to use plain text instead of framebuffer? You can see my full /etc/default/grub below. Hence I tried putting it into text-only mode using:īut it has no effect.

Once the timer has run out and the kernel is started (using linux-oem kernel thanks to some advice from this forum) I‘m seeing the Mint logo, and the system is starting and running as expected.Īpparently GRUB has some problems with new graphics chips.

Now when GRUB comes up, all I get is a completely black screen instead of the usual menu. The hard disk stayed as-is with Mint 20.3 Cinnamon. Due to a defect I needed to upgrade my (very old) system to a new hardware with an Intel i3-10100 and UHD 630 graphics.
