Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98~experimental.20100120-1
Severity: important
File: grub
Since a few days ago grub is no longer showing any text in the console,
only the Debian whirlwind logo, making it difficult to imossible to
choose the wanted operating system. Looking at the generated grub.cfg
there's no misconfiguration too obvious.

Setting severity only to important, as by guessing you can still get to
the right OS.
Please ask for any other details,
Thank you,
Alex
