I have Lucid Lynx, and I'm getting this problem (grub2 menu showing up and waiting forever), but the workaround in the initial comment (GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=1) doesn't work for me. This is grub-pc 1.98-1ubuntu9.
What I did find worked for me was to edit /boot/grub/grubenv, add 'recordfail=0', and adjust the length of the file to 1024 bytes (probably unnecessary). This worked for one boot, at which point it erased 'recordfail=0' and I was back at square one. Part of the problem may be that I copied this hard drive image from a VMware virtual machine to a VirtualBox one. I had to use a rescue disk to reinstall grub2, but it all works, except for this menu problem.
