grub not boot automatically

[David Hláčik]

Hi,

i am using Fedora Beta (Rawhide) .

After powering on my laptop grub shows up, but does not automatically after
timeout (5s) start loading , but does nothing.

I have to press enter to start ...

my grub.conf :

default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.27.3-39.fc10.i686)
    root (hd0,1)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.3-39.fc10.i686 ro
root=UUID=2a05c0a0-3982-407d-940e-0086e3844820 rhgb quiet
    initrd /initrd-2.6.27.3-39.fc10.i686.img
title Windows
    rootnoverify (hd0,0)
    chainloader +1

Thanks in advance!

David

Remove "rhgb quiet" from your grub stanza. Then perhaps you'll see
what is holding up boot.

Well, my grub holds even before item in grub is clicked, that is what i am
talking about. It should automatically after 5 seconds select default item
in grub and continue. But it does not , i have to click manually.

Please do not top post.

If you change default from "0" to "1" does Windows boot?

Have you pressed any keys, at all, while GRUB is displaying anything?
(Such as pressing a key so the hidden menu is displayed.)  If so, that
will halt things.

I'm experiencing the exact same behavior, Fedora 10 updated from Snap 2, grub 0.97.
I'm booting from a sata drive (hd0, onboard Sil raid controller) with fedora on a p-ata, everything was working correctly on Fedora 9.
My grub.conf:

default=1 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu  title Fedora (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686)         root (hd1,0)         kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 ro rhgb quiet         initrd /initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.img  title Windows Xp         rootnoverify (hd0,0)         makeactive         chainloader +1

Should i file a bug perhaps?
