I installed Jessie on a new disk on a new machine. I can boot it from the GRUB menu on another disk on that machine, but when I try to boot the new disk directly, all I get is a blinking cursor at upper left. Holding down SHFT or ESC during post did not bring up its menu.I tried redoing # update-grub. I find that /boot/grub/grub.cfg has a fully developed menu in which is: set root='hd0,mddos2'. This seems correct. BIOS sees this disk as number 0. In \ is a vmlinuz symlink that points to the vmlinuz file in a broken out /boot. Parted print shows partition 1 to be primary and flagged bootable. Partition 2 is also primary. It seems that one way to display the menu is to change to these values in these lines in /etc/default/grub to: GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=10 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false in /etc/default/grub, but these lines do not appear and what I have instead is: GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
Try 'ctrl+alt+F2 to see if you can get a console.
