While we didn't figure out the actual root cause of this problem, drs305 has pretty well diagnosed all the symptoms and has a near-perfect working solution. I'll let him tell you all about it. I would say that since the code does NOT perform as designed, and described in the documentation (RTFM) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 This should be considered a bug, even if the overall effects are small. After upgrading to GRUB 2, I just wanted to get the exact same user interaction behavior as I had with GRUB (legacy), and this bug prevents that from being the case. -- Grub 2 1.97 Beta 4 Hidden Menu No Longer Works https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444495 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
