Bug#574927: green console

I guess I have the same bug.  This is a squeeze install that was upgraded
from a minimal lenny, running directly on hardware, and I'm still
chainloading to grub2.

I put "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16" (or 800x600x16) in /etc/grub.d/40_custom,
and the console font comes up green. If I use 1024x768x8, the console font
is a dull gray. If I boot with grub legacy, it works normally.

Downgrading to grub-pc and grub-common 1.98~20100115-1 eliminates the
problem.
