Bug Description
After an ASUS X570-PRO BIOS update, and installation of an ASUS RTX 4070 (4070, not 4070 ti) card (and only after the installation of a RTX 4070 card), the grub boot menu would skip two lines on a single key press, making editing the boot command line very difficult or selecting a non-ubuntu boot partition. Also there were issues with the display turning off after the ubuntu splash screen would be displayed. Removing the splash and graphics boot options to force text mode until X11 started resolved this.
Graphics boot provides little benefits. I recommend making grub boot to text mode by default unless the user explicitly selects this option. It also will prevent anyone else upgrading to a RTX card from running into similar issues.
Just changing the grub boot menu to text wasn't enough. I had to remove the the splash and vt handoff/gfx options for Ubuntu to boot properly.
