grub-installer doesn't add it automatically. The user must have this configured from GRUB Legacy days, or otherwise manually in /etc/default/grub.
Maybe we should filter this out, or automatically convert it to gfxpayload; it's not high-priority for now though because the kernel can't quite deal with this now that grub2 uses the 32-bit boot protocol. I'm going to try to get this fixed for Lucid. ** Package changed: grub-installer (Ubuntu) => grub2 (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- vga=799 is a deprecated boot option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/454993 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
