After further investigation I found that the problem appears to be related to installing with LVM enabled. When I installed Trusty I encountered a problem (that started in 13.10 sometime between 11/28/13 and 1/19/14) when installing with LVM enabled over a previous LVM enabled installation (also happens if you try to install with LVM enabled over a previous Windows 7 installation). This causes a warning message that the "boot partition is not large enough and the installation may fail". On the first three machines I did not install with LVM enabled but on the other four machines I installed with LVM. I normally install with LVM and had no issues until this warning message started sometime between 11/28/13 and 1/19/14 (in saucy 13.10). For some reason the LVM equipped machines are the ones that are showing the menu instead of the countdown. I proved this by reinstalling Trusty on the four machines that were displaying the menu without LVM this time and they now work as intended. I will attach both a pass (e.g. working countdown case: sabertooth-nonlvm-grub.cfg) as well as a failure case (e.g. menu instead of countdown: m4a785m-lvm-grub.cfg) files.
If you need me to reinstall with LVM and collect more data let me know .
