Bug Description

Binary package hint: grub-pc

First of, I'm not sure which package is responsible for this bug. Reading on the net suggests that grub has something to do with it. So I try this first, please reassign as appropriate.

What happens: I set grub to show a graphical menu and set gfxpayload=keep. So far this works fine, I get a blueish (KUbuntu) background with the grub menu on it. When I select the kernel to boot, the menu goes away and all I see during boot is the blue background. Actually the KUbuntu logo on a shaded background should now appear (at least that is what it was like in Maverick) and a text box to enter my password. The system works fine in the background, i.e. I can blindly enter my password and it boots. However I see nothing but the grub background.

This is on Natty beta 2, updated today.
My graphics card is an Nvidia Geforce 320M (in a Macbook Pro).

grub-pc 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu1
plymouth 0.8.2-2ubuntu22
