grub menu colors work but always a black screen

[Greg White]

Hi,

I am trying to get grub to show a menu that has a blue background with yellow text.  I get a black ground with blue lines that contain yellow text.  I am using grub 2.00.  Here is my grub.cfg

set default=2
set timeout=30
# terminal console
set gfxmode=1440x900x32
set gfxpayload=keep

set menu_color_normal=yellow/blue
set menu_color_highlight=blue/yellow
set color_normal=yellow/blue
set color_highlight=blue/yellow

Did I do something wrong?

Thanks,
Greg
