Clearly, if one looks at the patch, they would realized that it's the
code that added the graphics support for the splash logo. It looks like
it hijacked the serial console support for the graphics mode when really
(s)he should have create another device and use that instead basically
deprecating the serial support.

I've put the grub package on hold and have reverted it back to the
previous version as a work around. This going to be a problem for kernel
developers and the like that need a console to determine which kernel to
boot.
