My Grub won't timeout. It just sits there forever waiting for me to press enter. I've gone through many rewrites of the config file and have recompiled, reinstalled, and reintalled it on the boot sector. Still nothing. My config file is below. Any ideas?
# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8) # grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8), # grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub # and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.
## default num # Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and # the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used. # # You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry # is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'. default 0
## timeout sec
# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).
timeout 5
# Pretty colours color cyan/blue white/blue
## password ['--md5'] passwd # If used in the first section of a menu file, disable all interactive editing # control (menu entry editor and command-line) and entries protected by the # command 'lock' # e.g. password topsecret # password --md5 $1$gLhU0/$aW78kHK1QfV3P2b2znUoe/ # password topsecret

# # Put static boot stanzas before and/or after AUTOMAGIC KERNEL LIST

I was going to post this to the list as well, but found that setting the timeout to 0 booted automatically without delay. Not good for dual booters though.
