[Bug 447765] Re: Can't switch to console mode when booting from grub2

[Rocko]

No, - I've never had to use vga= with grub1, so the kernel is working
fine. I also tried removing gfxpayload and it didn't make any difference
(I added that to see if it would fix the inability to switch in the
first place).

Strangely, I *could* get to the tty consoles from Jaunty if I booted
with grub2, but not with Karmic. Something changed recently that stops
vga mode working properly with grub2 - not in the kernel, though,
because I'm running the same kernel in both.

Also, I can't boot into recovery mode from either Jaunty or Karmic using
grub2. I get the first two lines where it says it's booting the kernel
image, and then nothing further. Perhaps this is because it can't switch
video modes.
