Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.99~rc1-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
If this is the same issue I'm experiencing then I found an interesting workaround:
At the grub menu press 'e' (like edit entry) and then press ESC and boot your usual entry (or just press Ctrl+x).
This keeps the console usable, reproducible on two different laptops, both with nVidia chipsets and the nvidia proprietary driver..
Hope this helps fix this bug.
Regards,
Andrei
