Package: grub-pc Version: 1.96+20090628-1 Severity: normal I'm seeing the same behaviour, the problem appeared after upgrading from 1.96+20090603-2.
I do not auto-start the graphical login screen (i.e. the system is configured to stay in text mode), so the problem seems unrelated to X. The kernel is configured to use vesafb, but not output is displayed (grub menu itself is fine). -- Package-specific info: ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### [cut, sample entry] menuentry "2.6.30-08503-g4e8a237" { set root=(hd0,5) linux /bzImage-2.6.30-08503-g4e8a237 root=/dev/mapper/main-system ro vga=773 video=vesafb:ypan,mtrr:3 selinux=0 initrd /initrd.img-2.6.30-08503-g4e8a237 } *********************** END /boot/grub/grub.cfg -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable-i386 APT policy: (500, 'unstable-i386'), (500, 'transitional-i386'), (500, 'transitional'), (500, 'stable-i386'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental-i386'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-rc8-00034-g81ee1ba (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages grub-pc depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.26 Debian configuration management sy ii grub-common 1.96+20090628-1 GRand Unified Bootloader, version ii libc6 2.9-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii ucf 3.0018 Update Configuration File: preserv grub-pc recommends no packages.
