Bug#267224: grub: text video mode screwed if booting fails

[Jaap Haitsma]

Package: grub
Version: 0.95+cvs20040624-8
Severity: normal

If I select an item in the grub menu with for example a kernel
which does not exist anymore. I get an error message that the file
does not exist and by hitting a key I can return to the menu.

I normally have a menu with a splashimage, but when I return it's just
simple text mode but it's completely screwed up. I see a very fine
raster and every letter is a random bunch of pixels
