There is a thread started as: 22 Aug 18:24 Hoang Le grub menu is automatically skipped The esence of it is a presumable solution in: 22 Aug 18:34 Pawan Sood grub menu is automatically skipped followed by its questioning in: 22 Aug 23:38 Aaron Konstam grub menu is automatically skipped and my investigation of it in: 23 Aug 09:12 JB grub menu is automatically skipped I tested hibernation at that time. I noticed randomness in appearance of grub menu during restoration pass from hibernation (normally, the menu can be seen for a split of a second only; instead the menu sometimes stopped for a timeout value, if configured, as if during system Restart). I thought the problem was related to hibernation only. But soon I discovered the same random behaviour for regular system Restart as well. Well, what can you make of it ?
