I have had the same problem with a Toshiba Portege A-600 128 laptop of a friend whom I installed Ubuntu (trying to convert her from Windows). On cold boot the grub menu did not appear.
I am writing just to let you know that on another discussion in Ubuntuforums, held in 2007, somebody has found a way of solving this problem by changing a setting in the BIOS. The discussion is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-405515.html Changing ''Diagnostic mode'' from ''Disabled'' to ''Enabled'' in the BIOS solved the problem on my friend laptop. I hope that this helps. -- grub menu does not display after cold boot on Toshiba laptops https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389930 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
