Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub
Booting my Samsung NC10 fails. After an ugly splash screen there's only
a black screen. Changing to a terminal is not possible and trying this
with the help of SysRq short cuts ends in a terminals without a shell.
Shutting down is only possible by pressing the power key (short press
for ACPI shutdown).
If I edit the GRUB entry before booting and delete the line "set
gfxpayload=$linux_gfx_mode" booting is successful.
My grub.cfg contains exactly that line (I'll attach it). I guess
"$linux_gfx_mode" is a variable that should be recplaced by its value
but that didn't happen for some reason. So it seems to be a GRUB or
update-grub problem.
