RE: Cannot get GRUB boot menu to display more than 3/100ths seconds

[Rivard, Matthew T]

If you remove the grub.cfg file, the grub boot loader should drop to a command 
line and stop.      If it doesn't drop to the command line, then your 
bootloader is pulling its menu file from a non-standard location, which is why 
any changes you make are not being reflected.

You can then use a linux install disc in recovery mode to remount the drive and 
rename the grub.cfg file back afterwards if it does drop to command line.

   Pardon? What should I expect to happen?
   You are suggesting to basically delete the grub.cfg file by renaming
   it, right? Will that even allow my system to boot?!

         Althought I have configured the boot menu timout to 5 seconds,
     the boot
         menu only flashes on screen briefly for 3/100ths of a second and
         disappears. I have tried all sorts of combinations of
     configuration
         changes and just cannot seem to do anything to get the boot menu
     to
         actually stay on the screen.

     What is displayed if you rename grub.cfg ?
