As explained above-- If you manually set the variable of GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD
or GFXMODE and it works... then it does not seem to be a kernel bug.
Manually setting those variables and passing to the kernel verifies that
the process at the kernel is working as designed.

What it does point out is that the process is broken before that...
Somewhere in GRUB, where it is trying to query the hardware and passing
invalid data to set a mode.  Manually setting that mode (GFXMODE)
bypasses that process.
