Keep forgetting the cardinal rule...."Don't reply before coffee".....
I run with hiddenmenu commented out and timeout=8 and have no problems.
Uncommented and "hit any key" displayed and works fine as well.
Do you have a USB keyboard?
I think that might be the correct question to ask. ;) I have had similar

But since you could do this earlier, not sure its a similar problem but
worth a try.
