Public bug reported: Binary package hint: plymouth
The LO100i ("Lights Out") is a remote console solution from HP (via Compaq) Proliant servers. The LO100i features a java KVM (Keyboard/Video/Mouse) switch emulator. The KVM switch emulator only supports certain video resolutions. Even if you configure grub2 with "fb=0" or "gfxmode=640x480" Plymouth comes along and sets a resolution that results in an unreadable display.
