Comment 3 for bug 364057

I've seen a similar issue on intrepid previously. I had a box with an "ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955" card where I could see the GRUB menu just fine but the entire boot sequence was black (until I got to GDM so basically usplash was black or what it's called).

I find it strange that you don't even see the grub menu though? Because of this I've opened this bug against grub as well, maybe one of their triagers/devs can comment on what component is broken if the grub menu isn't even shown.
