Title:
  Grub no longer has support for serial terminal

Status in grub:
  New
Status in The Open Compute Project:

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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?
