Hi Chris,
How many OSs do you have installed / boot options available in grub? If this is a fresh install for example, you might not see the grub screen because there are less than 2 or 3 I think it is, possible options, so its not shown.
Edit your grub.cfg or menu.cfg (I forget what its called) and check out the menu options you should be seeing.
There's quite a lot in there, eight including Memory Test etc.
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.
