[Bug 451202] [NEW] grub2 delay after user selects kernel

[Rocko]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub2

When grub2 appears, I select the kernel to boot and press ENTER (or the
right arrow key) and then absolutely nothing happens for two to three
seconds - it looks like the PC has hung. Then finally things start
happening.

It would be better if grub2 gave feedback to the user straight away,
like grub1 used to.
