[Bug 945203] [NEW] with GRUB_TERMINAL="console" root filesystem modules don't get included

[Brian J. Murrell]

Public bug reported:

When I have

GRUB_TERMINAL="console"

set in /etc/default/grub, the resulting grub.cfg is missing the root
filesystem required modules.  Here is the entire diff of the grub.cfg
with and without a GRUB_TERMINAL="console" setting:

Notice that the graphical console stuff is removed, but notice above
that, also the modules needed to find and mount the root filesystem are
missing.  These should not be missing simply because I select a non-
graphical console.
