We cannot accept this report, because it is about a heavily
modified version but not about our official version.

For some reason grub just leaves me hanging, waiting for me to press enter on bootup to select the kernel.  Does anyone know why?  I've got a timeout value set, so it should have a countdown, and then boot automatically.  If timeout=2, it should just wait 2 seconds, but instead it shows no countdown at all.  When I press enter, it goes in properly.  This may not be a bug, anyone know what I am doing wrong here?
