Comment # 3 on bug 957365 from Dr. Werner Fink

That is more like plymouth!

Btw: there is not file /etc/sysconfig/grub on Leap but /etc/default/grub and
the variable is GRUB_TERMINAL.

I doubt that this is a systemd bug even if not plymouth.  Maybe grub does not
initialize the virtual console with GRUB_TERMINAL=console.  Nevertheless IMHO
this is not a normal LCD but a virtual console of a virtual client which is
unable to handle carrige return. Or where does the brown margins fomr the
screen shots came from?
