Could you please try to reproduce it again and grab your syslog and
send it (gziped) to this bug report? This could help us to properly
identify the issue and try to hunt this bug.

This is a know issue and have been fixed. It would be nice if you
could test it again in few days since cdebconf is being build and then
we need it to get it deployed to the dailies. End of weekend should be
fine.

Robert, any idea why this happens? I've not followed the bugs in grub
so would be nice if you could comment on this.

I think you should report a bug against your video adapter driver;
since this is where it needs to be fixed. We can't do anything at
installer side to help on that.
