Bug Description
As reported on stackoverflow at this page http://
This is a very odd behavior expecially if there are not integrity problems and the system can boot without user intervention. I've tested this bug on ubuntu oneiric beta 1 but it seems that all the versions with grub2 are affected.
To reproduce the bug just install a new ubuntu server, cause a power cut, make it boot.
Surfing online i found two solutions to this problem.
First solution involves to modify /etc/grub.
set timeout=-1
becomes:
set timeout=0
and then run update-grub.
Second solution is to set GRUB_HIDDEN_
Changed in grub2 (Ubuntu): | |

My suggestion is to make this hidden timeout default on Ubuntu Server, but leave option to configure it.
