I also had this problem, and found a workaround which is a little hard
and dirty!
I edited to grub.cfg file (had to change it from read only and edit as
root) after backing it up and commented the lines in a small 'if' code
so that they didn't run.
The code originally read:
if [ ${recordfail} = 1 ]; then
set timeout=-1
else
set timeout=3
fi
which I changed to
#if [ ${recordfail} = 1 ]; then
# set timeout=-1
#else
set timeout=3
#fi
I have no idea what recordfail is and I'm sure someone will tell me this
was a bad idea but its just how i solved it. All i know is that setting
the timeout to -1 stops the countdown and removing those lines stops
grub from changing to that. I take no responsibility for broken systems
as you aren't supposed to edit the file directly.
I attach my grub.cfg to see the whole file if anyone is interested
