One for each card is probably fine, though there's some chance these will
occasionally be due to the system bios and not the vidoe bios on the card.
But whatever; we can coalesce those if needs be.
OK, so Mr. Woodbury, could you possibly file a bug against grub2 at
http://bugzilla.redhat.com with the information about your hardware, and
what you see with a default grub config? Peter didn't specify what
information he needed, so I guess he'll ask in the bug report.
