Comment 8 for bug 854967

Ah, ok, so the fact that you need to press enter before the boot sequence resumes actually tells me that friendly-recovery started properly.

The first option in friendly-recovery is "resume", so pressing enter selected it and the boot continued.

Now the problem is why don't you actually see the menu...

Could you attach the output of "lspci -nnn" and "dmesg"?

I'm starting to think it might be hardware related or some race condition.
