Title:
  GRUB boot menu does not appear

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When (re)booting, the GRUB boot menu does not appear.  Instead, a
  black rectangle - where the boot menu should otherwise appear - is
  displayed.

  A picture is attached herewith.  It shows the said black rectangle.
  Please excuse the glossy screen, and the consequent poor visibility.
  The black rectangle is clearly visible in the left-bottom corner of
  the first picture.

  The absence of a boot menu makes it virtually impossible for me to try
  any other kernel, pass boot options, etc.
