How do you make the edit to Grub permanent? Android installed and ran fine but when I exit and restart, Grub has changed back to default and I have to edit again.
Peter Rosenfeld
By Anwar Nillufary
By the way your solution about editing the grub menu at the startup which is done by replacing ”quiet” with ”nomodeset xforcevesa” is a temporary solution and one has to repeat that on every boot. The good news is, after a lot of digging I could finally find a permanent solution which I would like to share it here.
In order to fix that, you have to edit ”menu.lst” file. Here is how:
1-boot in debug mode (usually the second option in boot menu)
2-when booting stops (for me it just hangs there with flashing cursor and without any prompt) enter ”mount -o remount,rw /mnt
”
3-enter ”cd /mnt/grub
”
4-enter ”vi menu.lst
”
5-press Shift+a
6-right under the first boot entry find the line starting with ”kernel initrd=/in” (your line might look different; it depends on Android version; in general just find the line that starts with ”kernel”)
7-at the end of the line type ”vga=834 nomodeset xforcevesa
”
8-press ESC then ”:wq” – these commands will save the file and quit vi
9-enter ”cd /
”
10-enter ”umount /mnt
”
11-enter ”reboot -f
”
Now the system should reboot in the VESA mode of your choice.
This will enforces to use the VESA driver for X.
Hope it helps.
