I've had problems like this with grub2 when it was trying to retain the graphics mode (sorry, I don't remember the line in grub.cfg since I've since removed it.) I usually find grub problems by entering the grub command line and typing the commands in the menuentry from /boot/grub/grub.cfg that doesn't work one at a time. Todd
