Comment 3 for bug 410653

This is the output of dpkg-reconfigure:

Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.

I ran the first two sections of my grub.cfg file on the GRUB console without getting any error message. Here they are:

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ###
if [ -s /boot/grub/grubenv ]; then
  have_grubenv=true
  load_env
fi
set default="0"
if [ ${prev_saved_entry} ]; then
  saved_entry=${prev_saved_entry}
  save_env saved_entry
  prev_saved_entry=
  save_env prev_saved_entry
fi
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,5)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 092586b6-f367-48c1-a979-0014ea02ed0e
if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then
  set gfxmode=640x480
  insmod gfxterm
  insmod vbe
  if terminal_output gfxterm ; then true ; else
    # For backward compatibility with versions of terminal.mod that don't
    # understand terminal_output
    terminal gfxterm
  fi
fi
if [ ${recordfail} = 1 ]; then
  set timeout=-1
else
  set timeout=5
fi
### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ###

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ###
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,5)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 092586b6-f367-48c1-a979-0014ea02ed0e
insmod png
if background_image /boot/grub/moreblue-orbit-splash.png ; then
  set color_normal=black/black
  set color_highlight=magenta/black
else
  set menu_color_normal=white/black
  set menu_color_highlight=black/white
fi
### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ###

And vbeinfo prints a long list, at the end of which is the message: "Configured VBE mode (vbe_mode) = 0x101"
