Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98~20100128-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
After choosing the chain load grub2 option in the old grub menu the grub2
screen
loads correctly. When I choose a kernel to load, the system locks up completely
and does not respond to Ctrl-Alt-Del. The messages loading kernel .... and
loading initrd ... appear and then in the upper right corner of the grub2
screen a horizontal line is drawn. Is there a way to make grub2 more verbose?

Yes, we should no longer be forcing gfxpayload=keep inappropriately.
You may still have problems if you use the configuration file to set up
this configuration, of course, but it's not the default any more.
