[Bug 702594] Re: $linux_gfx_mode not propagated into submenus

[mrg666]

I am using Ubuntu 11.04 (fully updated) on a Dell Inspiron 500m. I can confirm the same bug that if I do not delete the following line  in grub, Ubuntu cannot boot. 
set gfxpayload=$linux_gfx_mode

Title:
  $linux_gfx_mode not propagated into submenus

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  Submenus seem to propagate very few environment variables.  In
  particular, we set the $linux_gfx_mode variable at the top level and
  expect it to be visible from menu entries, but this isn't the case if
  they're in submenus.  We need to fix this so that gfxpayload=keep is
  set properly in all cases.
