I did experiment with the disk layout until I had the "long boot"
layout.

I have now two virtual hard disks.
The first does contain a bunch of parititions, but no real OS
The second does contain Ubuntu 9.10 with grub2 package installed

Grub is installed in both, the first and the second virtual hard disk
(done via dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc, marking /dev/sda and /dev/sdb).

If I choose to boot from the first hard drive -> long boot time for grub
If I choose the second hard drive -> short boot

Afterwards I did "make install" and then grub-install /dev/sdb.  I then
booted the system from the first hard drive, so I used in fact the old
grub. But the problem was fixed. Somehow strange, but that would mean
that it is the modules which are not playing well, since these were the
only "new" parts that were used.

So yes, I assume the bug is somehow fixed, at least in trunk.

I can reproduce this behaviour easily, I have taken a snapshot so I can
go back before the install. So if I can help, tell me what to do.
Connecting to the serial interface of the VM should be possible.
