Title:
  9.10 grub.cfg bug blank screen

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub-installer

  Ubuntu 9.10
  Build 2.6.31-14-generic
  Video: ATI X800SE

  Seriously: 
  Experienced a bug in the grub.cfg file. A call for splash in /etc/default/grub file is hanging/halting the system. This happened to me on install of new version 9.10 from LiveCD.

  in grub.cfg:
  "linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=UUID=44118bfa-d582-45e2-964f-66886a1d4d03 ro quiet splash"

  I removed the call for splash at the end of this line and the machine
  booted normally.

  Searching ubuntu and this bug is quite common - however people tend to think its the video-card or something else.
   
  Is this a bug or not ??

  --------------------------------------------------------
  HOW (in recovery mode and in root)

  >nano /etc/default/grub

  Edit the line
  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
  to
  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
  and save

  >update-grub
  (which will update the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file)

  >shutdown -r now
