Hi,

[please keep the bug CC'ed when replying]

Sorry but I do not use EFI on my desktop so I can't reproduce that
issue, I use legacy GRUB, and that file can be found
at: /boot/grub/i386-pc/vbe.mod

I understand that having the boot halted until a key is pressed is very
annoying. Have you tried taking out that new config from GRUB, and
instead disabling the integrated Intel card in the BIOS (if you don't
need it and if the BIOS allows it of course)?

Kind regards,
Luca Boccassi
