Title:
  fails to deal with a serial console correctly

Status in “grub-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub-installer

  When I install lucid on a serial console, grub-installer fails to
  setup the kernel options correctly.

  On the machine in question, console=ttyS1,38400 - this is not what
  grub-installer sets up.

  After manually fixing default/grub and running update-grub, I still
  see:

  error: bad unit number.
  error: unknown terminal 'serial'
  .
  error: unknown command `terminal'.
  error: unknown terminal 'serial'
  .
  error: unknown command `terminal'.

  before the kernel boot proceeds.
