Grub2 stops in the menu and waits for keypress after dirty power-off

[Petr Jakeš]

Hi,
We have made a clean install minimal install of the
ubuntu-9.10-server-i386.

After the dirty power off (PC disconnected from the electricity when Ubuntu
was working - no halt command issued before the electricity disconnecting)
Grub2 stops in the menu and requires manual action (pressing the Enter key).

We have found this a real pain for the server. Our point of view is server
has to (always) start without any manual assistance.

It was really not easy to find the solution

We think even if Grub2 stops in the menu, it has to signalize somehow why.
Or the server distro has to have different boot-up behavior than desktop.

Regards

Petr
