I had reported about a messed up display; no grub menu showing; etc
about a year ago to the debian-list
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2004/11/msg02892.html
Now I have the culprit: It is the kernel updater of grub.
Here is the proof:
This is menu.lst after fresh install of Sarge31r0; with some changes:
add Debian splash screen; add OpenBSD.
I have *not* touched the 'inner part' for autoupdates !
# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
# grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),
# grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
# and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.
## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from
0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default
entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
default 0
## timeout sec
# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the
default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).
timeout 5
# Pretty colours
#color cyan/blue white/blue
# commented, because we have a SPLASH screen:
splashimage=(hd0,5)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
## password ['--md5'] passwd
# If used in the first section of a menu file, disable all interactive
editing
# control (menu entry editor and command-line) and entries protected by the
# command 'lock'
# e.g. password topsecret
# password --md5 $1$gLhU0/$aW78kHK1QfV3P2b2znUoe/
# password topsecret

## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specifiv kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.
## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
# kopt=root=/dev/hda7 ro
## default grub root device

## altoption boot targets option

## e.g. altoptions=(extra menu suffix) extra boot options
## altoptions=(recovery mode) single
# altoptions=(recovery mode) single
## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the
## alternative kernel options

From high up, it had taken the splashimage and added it here once again!
It only required me using vi and remove that second splashimage and
everything was fine.
It seems any splashimage in between here will mess up the boot display
completely.
Let me refer to bugs on the splashimage, which might be related:
280086
261936
272979
283308
The autoupdater of the splash into grub is broken and messes up the boot screen.
Here, as soon as the splash gets directly atop the kernel images it messes up the screen and - worst of all - supresses the menu.
Maybe one of those 'patches' to auto-include the splash screen are at fault ?

[ Kristian Edlund ]
* Solved problems in update-grub so running the script will sort
the kernels the same way using dash or bash. (closes: #346544)
* Applied patch provided by Ole Janssen <ole.janssen at o2online.de>
to fix a problem when /boot is on an extra partion (closes: #346596)
* Fixed the problem with multiple splashimage lines, if there is a
splashimage outside the autoupdated part of the file. (closes: #341538,
#318706, #345208, #283308, #345346)
* Corrected the README.Debian to contain the right path if /boot
is on another partion. (closes: #281051)
.
[ Otavio Salvador ]
* Don't convert /dev/mapper to new kernel 2.6 device scheme.
