Public bug reported:
>From when I've installed the 9/9/2011 daily build of Oneiric in a dual-
boot setup alongside Natty on my desktop, I could not get grub to
display at all for me. During the time when it should be showing, my
monitor instead shows a blank screen with an "Input Not Supported" error
box (see http://i.stack.imgur.com/RWNmV.jpg).
When I don't do anything, Oneiric continues to boot as normal (with the
exception of Plymouth not showing either, as described in Bug #850895).
If I hold down the Shift key during boot, I still get the error screen
and no grub, but boot won't continue until I press Enter, which suggests
to me that grub is still running even if I can't see it.
If this were a single-OS computer like it was before when I was only
running Natty, this might not be a huge problem, but it is now that I am
dual-booting with Oneiric, and I imagine it would also tick off a lot of
people who dual-boot with Windows. I can't get into my Natty install
anymore because of this.
