I played around with my kernel and now the grub menu seems to be half the dimension of the screen and centered. How can I change it back to be 1024x768 like I remember it being? I'm assuming that this can't be too difficult ...

Putting "vga=791" at the end of your kernel line in grub's config file might do it; not sure though.

this can't be caused by the kernel.

grub is loaded before the kernel is loaded. the kernel does not load until after you select it from the grub boot menu, or the timer runs out.

it has to be something else. probably the grub config file, or, are you on a laptop?

it's not the vga=<whatever> as that doesn't take effect until the kernel loads.

Maybe I'll have to reinstall grub :(
