[Solved]Grub2 No video mode set

This hasn't really been my day...

I decided to install grub2(gfx version), mainly because legacy grub-gfx wouldn't show the theme for anything.

First, I got barraged with 

Kernel must be loaded first!

messages, I resolved that.


Now I'm hit with 

No video mode activated

My google-fu hasn't really helped me to much.


Here's the config:

# You can set supported resolutions here, but
#     be aware that the theme will not work
#     properly unless it is running on
#     what it was designed for.
set gfxmode=1366x768x24
insmod biosdisk
insmod pc
insmod font
insmod vbe
insmod gfxterm
insmod videotest
insmod tga
insmod png
insmod gfxmenu
insmod multiboot
insmod rieserfs
insmod ntfs
insmod ext2
#set gfxpayload=1366x760x24


#set menuviewer="terminal"
set menuviewer="gfxmenu"


#set theme="/boot/grub/themes/ubuntu2/theme.txt"
#set theme="/boot/grub/themes/ubuntu1/theme.txt"
#set theme="/boot/grub/themes/winter/theme.txt"
set theme="/grub/themes/simplyblack/theme.txt"
#set theme="/boot/grub/themes/proto/theme.txt"


# TODO: fix GRUB script parser -- it doesn't handle a space at the end of the line in a menu entry.

set timeout=10
set default="0"
set fallback="1"

# Entry 0 - Windows 7
menuentry "Windows 7" --class "windows" {
    set root=(hd0,2)
    chainloader +1
}

    initrd kernel26.img

loadfont /grub/fonts/nu.pf2
loadfont /grub/fonts/smoothansi.pf2
loadfont /grub/fonts/snap.pf2

I had to modify file paths for grub to recognize everything properly.


For reference:

-  (hd0,6) is /boot  and the root UUID used above
-  (hd0,7) is / (main), UUID=e954940e-badc-4c05-8c1e-3c001eca0ca1

Re: [Solved]Grub2 No video mode set

Well, after some fooling around, it doesn't say anything about video now....

just: 

Kernel must be loaded first!

And I thought I fixed that...

Not sure where the spaces came from....and it's a bit messy.
