I'm still stuck on this, no boot menu actually appears and neither does the text mode boot sequence show up. All I get is a long blank pause between the BIOS sequence disappearing and the GUI login screen appearing.
To see if I have done anything awfully wrong with the Grub configuration I installed startupmanager, a GUI to do it for me. Still no joy, I have tried various different resolutions etc. in the Display options of startupmanager and none of them ever displays anything.
I can't find anything much of use using Google either.
Presumably you're using Grub2?
Are you running update-grub after you've changed the file? See http://linuxers.org/howto/how-configure-grub2-ubuntu-910
In any case, AFAIK, pressing Esc should reveal the menu if it's hidden.
HTH. Steve
