Thread: GRUB stops at menu after power cut

dear all,

i'm not experienced linux, user desktop , server 12 years now.
i've replaced home server atom based motherboard hdd. board has no battery, power cut, forgets time until syncronised again.

had several issues, nailed down 1 problem : if power lost, regardless if shut down correctly or cut, not boot. stops @ grub menu.
case, have plug keyboard in , hit [enter], boots fine.
have noticed, case there no countdown. have tried set "0" @ timeout, not matter.

advise.

ubuntu server 11.10

config file :


# if change file, run 'update-grub' afterwards update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# full documentation of options in file, see:
# info -f grub -n 'simple configuration'

grub_default=0
#grub_hidden_timeout=0
grub_hidden_timeout_quiet=true
grub_timeout=0
grub_distributor=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo debian`
