Title:
  Upgrade to Grub2 slows boot

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I've a 64bit Quad Intel machine with 4Gbytes of ram. I upgraded from
  Ubuntu 9.04 32bit to Ubuntu 9.10  32bit and have noticed a new
  significant delay in the booting process prior to the arrival of the
  Grub menu. I am using Ext3 file system and this is a dual boot machine
  with Vista.

  So far, a search of the web only seems to suggest I roll back to an
  earlier version of Grub by a rather messy reinstall of an older
  version of Ubuntu and then careful selection to preserve to older Grub
  during another installation of V9.10.

  I am also considering just removal of Grub 1.97beta4 via Synaptic
  Package Manager by selection of an older legacy copy of Grub.  But I
  fear I may crash the boot process.

  What do you recommend?
