[Bug 850202] Re: grub splash is erased before plymouth starts

[Andy Whitcroft]

After much debugging it appears that grub may not be handing off the
console in graphics mode at all.  Booting with gfxpayload=keep seems to
work pretty well.

Looking like the blacklisting is not working correctly:

    grub> hwmatch ${prefix}/gfxblacklist.txt 3
    error: incompatible licence

Adding a task on grub2 to investigate.

Title:
  grub splash is erased before plymouth starts

Status in The Ubuntu Flicker-Free Boot Project:
  New
Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  When booting you see the grub purple, then a black screen with cursor,
  then a mode switch, then plymouth splash.  We do not expect to see the
  black screen with cursor.  This is either a kernel issue, or something
  before plymouth starts.
