[Bug 1164686] [NEW] Grub no longer has support for serial terminal

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

While following the serial console howto for Ubuntu there is a note that
you need to change /etc/default/grub and change the GRUB_TERMINAL line
to serial however upon changing that line and unhiding the menu the
following messages show up upon bootup.  I am seeing this in 12.10 but
will confirm that 12.4 is seeing this as well.

error: terminal `serial' isn't found. 
error: terminal `serial' isn't found. 

Attached is my systems grub config file.  The guide I am referring to
can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto

One thing to note is that I am still able to see the Grub message so it
could be no longer needed?
