Yesterday I pushed a fix to GRUB that breaks GRUB in the daily.1203 build.

The symptom is that the menu.lst file is not properly processed if a splashimage
is present and the GRUB menu is not presented.

The workaround is to comment the splashimage line out of the /boot/grub/menu.lst
file - which unfortunately is only possible if you boot the system by
alternative means.

I highly suggest you NOT install this build if at all possible until the changes
for CR 6775099 are backed out of the on tree.

I apologize deeply for the inconvenience.
