Hello,
when using serial console and encrypted /boot, the cryptomount command
in load.cfg asks for passphrase but you can't enter it because serial
console gets initialized later in grub.cfg. We need it in load.cfg
too.

If we really add here an extension, then my favourite is a

Christoph, are you sure? have you ever seen such a behavior really?
As the documentation says, it defaults to

So the call `terminal' should be named

Yes, what I have observed is that when you select the serial console by
pressing a key before the timeout, the output is still sent to the VGA
screen. I can navigate the menus or get the grub console _from_ the serial
keyboard (the native keyboard is ignored), but the output is sent to the

as parameter in the `terminal' call.
A bit different. GRUB polls only terminals specified to terminal by
the user. For example, if you enter terminal serial, console is not
polled. With terminal hercules console, GRUB polls hercules and
console but not serial.
When the timeout expires, GRUB
been using both VGA and serial consoles without a problem.
It will default to whichever one I want, and the menus work
fine in both.
IIRC, a splashimage causes problems with a serial console.
I think there's something mentioned in the serial console HOWTO
about it.
