When you run vbeinfo, grub reports a preferred resolution at the end.
Could it be that grub is trying to switch to this resolution, failing if it is
not one of the supported VESA modes?
16:9 and 16:10 modes are usually not among those, yet a great deal of (if not
almost all) modern computers have
annoying to have the computer[server] start with "error".

I have this same problem on a clean Ubuntu Natty installation with
encrypted LVM (similar to comment #6). A possible cause can be that the
fonts and other information GRUB loads from places other than /boot are
not accessible at the boot time because they are located in the
encrypted partition.

I have TERMINAL=console and GFXMODE decomented, and the HIDDEN_TIMEOUT
and QUIET commented to grub to showup... also, probably related,
plymouth is not working, not even in "textmode", the screen goes black

@linux4me: Well that's for this theory.
And now that you mention it, I can also see some message flicker up for a very
short time.
But than I get the grub menu and can chose kernel/os.
So at least for me, the workaround is usable (even if not really solving the
bug?!?).

I tried commenting out GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 and I believe the error
message still appears, but it flashes up and is gone so fast it's hard
to tell if it's the same error.

@Ren: I've got the errpr with clean installs of Natty on two desktops,
both of which have nVidia graphics chips, one on the motherboard and the
other a discrete card (7600 GS PCI Express x16).
Changing the GFXMODE didn't work for me, either.

Found workaround for me.
Deactivate the following line:
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
Though the defaut value is =0 this seams to cause the error.

Still not working here with
grub-pc Version 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu3.
Console mode leads to the error message,
graphic terminal and "workaround" setting "GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480" also doesn't
work.
It looks like all effected use a notebook?
And a big part of them ATI mobile graphic? With AGP?

I have the same problem on Natty. My graphics card is a ATI Technologies
Inc Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] [1002:4c66] (rev 01).
The workaround doesn't work for me – changing /etc/default/grub has no
effect.
