After update grub2 won't boot on its own

[Jose L. VG]

After some karmic update (I guess) my eee 901 won't start on its own, as it waits (for ever) for the user to select some boot option.This is quite annoying as it was working ok before.

It could not be solved by touching the /etc/default/grub options.

Maybe pushing GRUB2 on karmic was a bad idea?
Too inmature?
Moreover when GRUB was working perfectly, it's easier to configure and more stable...
What does GRUB2 do that GRUB doesn't?
Why do we need GRUB2 anyway?
Just in order to have new bugs?

Appears to be the same problem on my laptop. I did some updates a few days ago including grub2. When I fire up the machine it goes to the grub menu and waits forever for a choice. I tried making some changes in /etc/default/grub and updating but nothing seems to make a difference.
