Title:
  grub2 some times freezes before calling kernel

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  ubuntu 9.10 grub2 1.97_beta4

  A clean install of karmic in an Aspire One has this issue, another
  computer installed using the same disk image does not have the
  problem. Main difference between the two is that the Aspire One has a
  Sata disk and 10 GB in swap while the other computer does not.

  I tried looking for a duplicate but I couldn't find this exact report.
  grub intermittently freezes and shows me a blank screen with a
  blinking cursor after the kernel selection. When this happens, the
  only exit is to force a shutdown.

  It used to be 50% of the time, but I think the frequency is
  escalating. I tried looking for syslog messages done during the time
  in which this happens, but nothing, so I think this means the problem
  is caused by grub and not by the kernel. Does grub2 have any log file
  I could check?
