[Bug 425979] Re: [karmic alpha 5] grub2 has no visible pause for menu

[Carey Underwood]

** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu)
     Assignee: (unassigned) => Canonical Desktop Experience Team (canonical-dx-team)

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: grub2
  
- From: USB stick setup as bootable from GUI tool in Jaunty with Karmic AMD64 alpha 5 alternate install ISO
- To: Empty disk (had to remove old partitions to get rid of autodetected LVM vg, etc.)
+ Grub2 has switched away from a minimum 1 second delay to hit enter, in
+ preference to simply holding down shift during the boot sequence.
+ However, this behaviour doesn't work on all machines.
  
- On rebooting, BIOS hands off to grub and grub boots default without any
- opportunity to choose to boot something other than the default.  Due to
- other problems (more reports to come), I am assuming that this is grub2
- (it's supposedly the default for new installs).  It's possible that
- whatever grub2's equivalent of menu.lst is simply isn't setup to allow
- any choices.
+ Further, many users will only learn this after their machine fails to
+ boot normally, leaving them unable to boot at all without outside
+ assistance.
