I"m assuming this is native graphics? That's sometimes a sign that the graphics hardware can't get to memory for an image, either due to the page remapping on the graphics hardware being wrong or maybe BME is not set on the device.
Yes, this was with native graphics. It looks like grub's gfxterm was causing it -- I switched terminal_output to console and there is now a nice text mode boot menu rather than glitching.
[...] BTW, how big is the Qubes "kernel" itself? Is it possible to put it in flash?
The Qubes kernel is the Xen hypervisor and is only about 800 KB. I'm attempting to add it as the payload, although I think that a minimal Linux in ROM that kexec's Xen from an encrypted and measured disk image will be better suited to my goals.
