GRUB does not show up on screen

Hi,

I recently installed arch linux on my girlfriend's laptop, but grub doesn't show up on the display. The screen remains on bios while grub is running for its 5 second timeout. I can still choose between linux and windows so it is working properly otherwise.

Anyone have any ideas what this is about? I had grub2 working on Ubuntu properly before on the same machine.

Thanks,

Re: GRUB does not show up on screen

This issue came up on fedora recently - the user had to increase his grub.conf (menu.lst) timeout to 15 seconds, after which the grub menu would appear showing 7 seconds remaining before it booted the default.
