Title:
  Boot process hangs with GFXPAYLOAD and GFX theme

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub-pc

  I've created a gfxmenu theme.  When I add GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
  to /etc/default/grub the boot process hangs somewhere between plymouth
  and gdm.  I have a seperate /boot partition formatted as ext4 with /
  on a RAID0 partition.

  If I remove the 'quiet splash' from the Linux command-line the boot
  process goes on properly to gdm.  This happens at even 640x480.  I've
  commenting out the lines that set GFXPAYLOAD from 10_linux and adding
  it immediately after the set gfxmode= line in 00_header but it still
  does the same thing.
