Title:
  Graphic  driver installed for upgrade to Natty has problem

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty) from 10.10. When I attempt to
  reboot to complete the upgrade, the grub menu does not display,
  According to the documentation, I should be able to press SHIFT (until
  the menu displays) to display the grub menu. This does not occur for
  me on my system. The system boots by default to the first image. Adter
  several suggestions, it was apparent that the grub menu was there just
  not displaying correctly (see question 155140).  I then installed a
  Nvidia driver (from their website), and upgraded again. This time the
  grub menu displayed as expected. I am not sure why the upgrade did not
  install a new driver. Maybe it did. I have a Nvidia GeForce 500 series
  graphics card. The driver I installed (maybe incorrectly) was for a
  Geforce GTX 580.  When I was experiencing the grub menu display
  problem, and the system booted by default into 11.04, I tried
  activating all the Nvidia drivers available and they all experience
  the same problem. However, with the new Nvidia driver, the grub menu
  displayed correctly,,but the system did not boot. So bottom line, I am
  unanble to upgrade to 11.04.
