Bug#646363: Kernel parameter "boot_delay=1000" prevents system from booting

[Camaleón]

Package: grub2-common
Version: 1.99-12
Severity: normal
File: grub2

In GRUB2 edit mode, appending to the kernel line "boot_delay=1000" results in:

***
(black screen)

Reading a command list

Loading Linux 3.0.0-1-686-pae ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
***

And stays in there. Have to hard-reset the system to be able to boot.
