[Bug 481047] [NEW] grub2 some times freezes before calling kernel

[vexorian]

Public bug reported:

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?
