@Ren: I've got the errpr with clean installs of Natty on two desktops,
both of which have nVidia graphics chips, one on the motherboard and the
other a discrete card (7600 GS PCI Express x16).
Changing the GFXMODE didn't work for me, either.

I tried commenting out GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 and I believe the error

@linux4me: Well that's for this theory.
And now that you mention it, I can also see some message flicker up for a very

I have the same problem on Natty. My graphics card is a ATI Technologies
Inc Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] [1002:4c66] (rev 01).
The workaround doesn't work for me – changing /etc/default/grub has no
effect.

alternate daily build.
