I don't think the severity of the messages is the main issue. Let's
merge this into bug 1970069.

Title:
  Video-related errors during early bootup

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Note that this *could* be the Linux kernel or GRUB doing this, but I'm
  not sure and Plymouth seems like a possible culprit, thus why it's
  getting the report.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Download and boot any one of the Lunar Final ISOs on a BIOS system.
  2. Install Ubuntu and reboot into the installed system.
  3. Observe the console output during bootup.

  Expected result: If any errors show up on the screen, they should be
  non-alarming and look easily ignorable.

  Actual result: The following two somewhat alarming errors appear on
  the screen:

  error: no server is specified.
  error: no suitable video mode found.

  The system then proceeds to boot up and everything appears normal.

  This has been happening for a while, and I dismissed it as being
  possibly related to the VM software I was using. However I was able to
  reproduce it on physical hardware (an HP Pavilion dv7 laptop) today
  and so thought it was worth a bug report.
