Plymouth and virtualbox

[Jorge Suárez de Lis]

I think there's exactly the same limitations as in the Nvidia proprietary
driver. The kernel modesettng is not supported, so to get a
graphical-capable console you need to specify a video mode.

This seems a little messy to me, but this fix should do the trick (should
be the same on Debian):

You shouldn't need to specify the video mode, and
*"GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=auto"* should work as well, though.

Hope it helps.
