I'm running grub 0.95, as ships with debian testing, on my laptop. The problem I have invovles my cdrom drive somehow. Basically at bootup, grub says 'loading grub' and then waits there (doing nothing) for up to a minute before actually loading the boot menu. I can make it go instantaneously to the boot menu by ejecting the cdrom. Any ideas what would cause this? The windows XP loader booted immediately, as did lilo when I had that on. Grub is installed to the mbr, and /etc/boot/menu.lst looks like this: default 3 timeout 5 color cyan/blue white/blue
