I've recently updated to grub2 (by installing grub-pc) and I noticed something new and strange. In the previous version of grub, I used ā# defoptions=vga=0x37dā in /boot/grub/menu.lst to set the video mode. I'm using an nVidia card and this causes 1920x1200 to be used (in 32 bits I think), which is the native resolution of my flat panel. This didn't get passed on automatically to grub2, so I added it in /etc/default/grub under GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. With this setting the boot process is started in the correct resolution. However, right after the GRUB screen goes away, before anything else is displayed, I see the following warning for a second or so at the top of the screen: vga=0x37d is deprecated. Mode 893 isn't recognized. Use set gfxpayload=WIDTHxHEIGHT[xDEPTH] before linux command instead. I'm not sure if it's grub or the linux kernel that displays this message. I'll investigate a bit more.
