Information for Vladimir & Colin: Results of set: sh:grub> set ?=0 color_highlight=magenta/black *(custom colour to match grub image)* color_normal=red/black *(same comment)* default=0 gfxmode=640x480 pager= prefix=(UUID=fc1446a5-94e9-40f8-9ebb-2442107fc13c)/boot/grub root=hd2,2 I can verify that I am using Colin's PPA versions of grub2, grub-pc & grub-common. Time to menu is constant @ 3 1/2 minutes--there is a additional 30sec after the booting kernel is selected.
