Title:
  Booting with framebuffer doesn't show anything

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub-pc

  First of, I'm not sure which package is responsible for this bug.
  Reading on the net suggests that grub has something to do with it. So
  I try this first, please reassign as appropriate.

  What happens: I set grub to show a graphical menu and set
  gfxpayload=keep. So far this works fine, I get a blueish (KUbuntu)
  background with the grub menu on it. When I select the kernel to boot,
  the menu goes away and all I see during boot is the blue background.
  Actually the KUbuntu logo on a shaded background should now appear (at
  least that is what it was like in Maverick) and a text box to enter my
  password. The system works fine in the background, i.e. I can blindly
  enter my password and it boots. However I see nothing but the grub
  background.

  
  This is on Natty beta 2, updated today.
  My graphics card is an Nvidia Geforce 320M (in a Macbook Pro).

  grub-pc 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu1
  plymouth 0.8.2-2ubuntu22
