Grub behaves non-deterministic

Hello,
In Karmic, I have following options in /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=2
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
This is pretty much the default setting from the installation. With this
setting, I would expect grub to show the menu for 2 seconds and then proceed
the boot with the default unless the user selected a different entry.
What I actually see is:
1. grub shows the menu, but never continues the boot unless I select
some entry manually
2. grub don't show any menu at all and continues boot immediately.
It seems to be random, which of those two options grub choose. I have never
seen such behavior with grub-legacy.
BTW: Karmic is the only OS on this box.
Any ideas?
