I believe it is the default behavior of Grub2 in Ubuntu. i.e. It does not show the grub menu when you do not have a dual boot setup. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004#No%20delay%20for%20boot%20menu%20with%20GRUB%202 AND https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#GRUB%20vs%20GRUB%202 - *On a new install of Ubuntu 9.10 with no other installed operating system, GRUB 2 will boot directly to the login prompt or Desktop. No menu will be displayed.* - *Hold down SHIFT to display the menu during boot (formerly ESC in GRUB legacy).* *The second link above has a lot of information on how Grub2 works and differs from Grub (Legacy)* * * *Check out this ubuntuforums link as well for more information :* *http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275* * * * * *Hope that helps !* Thanks & Regards, Nandan.
