GRUB 2 does not use the Linux kernel at all; it is not possible to
integrate Linux kernel modesetting directly.

grub2 is now the default in karmic, so it will be fairly easy for newer
versions of ubuntu to do this. however, now that 10 second boot is a
priority for karmic+1, it seems like the idea is to make grub2 as
invisible as possible anyway.

grub2 has been available in Ubuntu for a while, and anyone interested
and adventurous can install the package (which replaces the old grub
loader). The Hardy package is in pretty good shape, but the Gutsy
package is so outdated that I can not recommend it. The more people test
it, the better. All
In that case I just might try it out in a vm or something, and if it's
stable enough for me, I'll switch to it instead of grub.

A boot loader should be minimalistic and as simple as possible.

you can hide grub, the grub that is now in ubuntu is not simply but ugly.

There is no need for a specification, bug nomination, or any of the

needed is a safe and well-tested set of patches, and assurance that it

I will also like to have this. As a matter of fact, there's currently an
