"prefix is not set" an then Display the menu ("try without

black screen. The purple splash doesn't appear for the grub menu or
after selection.
This bug seems to affect some Sandy bridge laptops. the 32 bit version
works fine on them.
Workaround:
installing grub onto the live USB manually fixes it.
