Grub2 not setting the vga= on one of 3 partitions

[Wayne <linuxtwo@gmail.com>]

I finally have grub 2 installed. Whew.  It works for testing but, does 
not set the vga=31B on the stable entry.

Generating grub.cfg ...

The grub2 docs are, to say the least, sparce, and do not seem to have a
solution to this problem.

I have looked for a file that I could edit to fix this but come up 
empty.  Anyone know where I can find it?

Anyone have a pointer it a fix?
