[Bug 420933] Re: Current grub-pc takes several minutes to show menu

[dino99]

comments about  the post #135 above:

finally found that mess was due to grub-customizer that i've had used in
the past and purged everywhere; but sadly it left some modified settings
behind. But thanks to boot-repair to cleanly removed that garbage and
cleanly reinstalled grub 2.0 working smootly now, except that the menu
still does not appear at the beginning (blackscreen for about 5 to 10
seconds, then the menu is shown)

  With the latest grub-pc update, grub2 takes several minutes to get to
  the menu. During this time there is almost constant hard drive
