Hi Ben,

I have shared my grub.cfg below,

if loadfont /boot/grub/font.pf2 ; then
set gfxmode=auto
insmod efi_gop
insmod efi_uga
insmod gfxterm
terminal_output gfxterm
fi

set menu_color_normal=white/black
set menu_color_highlight=black/light-gray

set timeout=5
menuentry "Install Ubuntu Server" {
set gfxpayload=keep
#DJ linux /casper/vmlinuz   boot=casper quiet  ---
    linux   /casper/vmlinuz  file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu-server.seed
vga=normal console=tty0 console=ttyUSB0,115200n8 ---
initrd /casper/initrd.gz
}
menuentry "OEM install (for manufacturers)" {
set gfxpayload=keep
linux /casper/vmlinuz   boot=casper only-ubiquity quiet splash
oem-config/enable=true ---
initrd /casper/initrd.gz
}
menuentry "Check disc for defects" {
set gfxpayload=keep
linux /casper/vmlinuz  boot=casper integrity-check quiet splash ---
initrd /casper/initrd.gz
}

Thanks,
Dhanasekar
