Porto una copia del mio file menu.lst in boot:
<code># GRUB configuration file '/boot/grub/menu.lst'.
# generated by 'grubconfig'. Mon Jan 24 10:14:01 2011
#
# The backup copy of the MBR for drive '/dev/sda' is
# here '/boot/grub/mbr.sda.14824'. You can restore it like this.
# dd if=/boot/grub/mbr.sda.14824 of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1
#
# Start GRUB global section
#timeout 30
color light-gray/blue black/light-gray
# End GRUB global section

In questo caso era già settato un timeout di 30... tuttavia non compare lo stesso il timeout!
Grazie!
