Hello all,
This is to notify that I experienced this bug today.
Following a re-install of my system on a new hard drive, I had to run
grub-install and update-grub. As a result, the bug 588208 occurred, whereby I
had no video at all until a linux kernel was loaded.
Machine is 32 bits mac mini intel with core 2 duo processor.
Distribution is based on Debian sid, and grub-efi version is shown below
(2.02~beta2-22).
As in the e-mail thread linked to the bug, I was able to recover by:
1) boot (blindly) into Mac OS X
2) leave the machine go to sleep
3) video was back when resuming
4) In terminal, "nvram -c" to clear all variables
5) Reset NVRAM at reboot (cmd+opt+P+R) to be sure...
Not sure if grub2 updates will break it again?
I am happy to do any test if requested.
Thank you,
Best regards
Marc Truscelli

Description-en: GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (EFI-IA32 version)
GRUB is a portable, powerful bootloader. This version of GRUB is based on a
cleaner design than its predecessors, and provides the following new features:
.
- Scripting in grub.cfg using BASH-like syntax.
- Support for modern partition maps such as GPT.
- Modular generation of grub.cfg via update-grub. Packages providing GRUB
add-ons can plug in their own script rules and trigger updates by invoking
update-grub.
.
This package contains a version of GRUB that has been built for use with
EFI-IA32 architecture, such as the one provided by Intel Macs (that is, unless
a BIOS interface has been activated).
