grub: linux
16.3.38 linux
-------------
-- Command: linux file ...
Load a Linux kernel image from FILE. The rest of the line is
passed verbatim as the "kernel command-line". Any initrd must be
reloaded after using this command (⇒initrd).
On x86 systems, the kernel will be booted using the 32-bit boot
protocol. Note that this means that the 'vga=' boot option will
not work; if you want to set a special video mode, you will need to
use GRUB commands such as 'set gfxpayload=1024x768' or 'set
gfxpayload=keep' (to keep the same mode as used in GRUB) instead.
GRUB can automatically detect some uses of 'vga=' and translate
them to appropriate settings of 'gfxpayload'. The 'linux16'
command (⇒linux16) avoids this restriction.
