Yes, and Yes.
After all, everyone knows a Linux box wont boot unless you have a graphical splashscreen! (sarcasm, for non-engish natives).
Grub does it one way then Linux joins in and does it another...trying to identify graphics related errors at/after boot can be a PITA.

If only I had $1 for every time I have said that, but still the package builders insist on forcing 'depend'ancies on everything.
