I have the same (maybe) problem with a new netbook that came with karmic 
and 'Grub 2' (which I'm not so sure is an 'improvement' over "Grub 1").

I see the "Grub loading" message flash up on the screen and then it goes 
straight on to booting up the default.

Once -- maybe twice -- whilst fiddling with the BIOS settings, the 
resultant boot process _did_ show the Grub menu.  However, the Grub menu 
has never appeared since -- not even when I pretend to futz with the 
BIOS settings.

I've seen in one of the fora that the old Grub can be installed using
apt-get and it will replace 'Grub 2'.  Anyone have any experience with 
that?
