Bug description:
  With the latest grub-pc update, grub2 takes several minutes to get to
  the menu. During this time there is almost constant hard drive
  activity...this did not happen with the last update which would take 5
  to 10 seconds at the most. This is with a i7-920/SATA2 system.

  Please advise as to further information needed.
