Title:
  grub2 menu appears w/ only 1 OS installed. forces enter key press to
  continue

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  Ubuntu 9.10
  grub2 1.97 beta4
  I expected the menu to either not appear at all or to only appear for a second or two.
  Instead it lasted over 40 minutes. I turned on the computer and walked downstairs for 40 minutes.  Every time since then it's the same thing.  If I hit the enter key then it boot up as it should.
