Title:
  Grub 1.97 Invalid Display When booting After Lucid Upgrade

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Invalid
Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This error occurred When upgrading from Karmic to Lucid.  The process
  was successful but I could not boot into the OS.  My Grub 2 menu could
  not be displayed as there was a 0 second delay.  Pressing / holding
  shift, esc, function keys etc etc, did nothing.

  The was followed by disk activity then halted at a black screen with
  funny colours on the top, Invalid display mode.  A new screen as far
  as I'm aware, was being display about mounting drives, press s to skip
  or m for manual recovery.  Since my display didn't work I couldn't see
  the message.

  I have since solved this issue.

  If anyone else has this issue then it prevents you from getting into
  the OS, press S to skip this menu & invalid display mode, you will
  then be shown the login screen.  The mount screen was solved by
  commenting out an invalid mount point in a file (fstab i think)

  I hope this helps & i hope this doesn't happen to others trying the
  upgrade.
