Comment 7 for bug 1046890

Testing reports so far:

 * Failure with striped DM-RAID, a recurrence of bug 803658. I've reproduced this locally and uploaded what I believe to be a fix to my PPA.
 * Success on an HP laptop dual-booting Ubuntu and Windows 7 (one alternate Ubuntu install was unbootable, but this was true with 1.99 as well).
 * Success on two systems with BIOS+LVM+crypto.
 * Success with an external monitor and a USB keyboard. This tester raised a dislike of recovery mode being moved into a submenu; this was an upstream change and I can see arguments either way, so I'm going to leave this at the new upstream behaviour for now.
 * Success on several disks with Ubuntu and Lubuntu i386 installed. The precise packages in my PPA have dependency issues, but I kind of knew that.
 * Success dual-booting with Windows 8 Consumer Preview.
 * Qualified success with a progression in video mode detection. The qualification was that upgrading the new GRUB packages at the same time as a new kernel confuses the zz-update-grub kernel hook. After grub-install had been run, the kernel installed fine. I'll look into this.
 * One instance of what I believe to be confusion due to multiple GRUB instances and an incorrect GRUB installation location (a common enough problem on any non-trivial upgrade of GRUB).
 * Success and "looks better", with no other details.
 * Success on amd64 with a PATA disk.
 * Success on two systems.
