I also confirm this behavior - message "Loading Grub" appears and then drive(s) are "cunching" (making noise) for a couple of seconds. After that delay grub menu finally appears.
I saw this problem as a confirmed bug somewhere - it was supposed to be caused by grub2 being actualy located at different physical disk than /boot. -- grub2 takes very long until the menu is displayed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410461 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
