Comment 14 for bug 10535

I have the same problem on an ASUS M2N8-VMX motherboard.
After installation I could reach the boot menu occasionally, but most of the times it hang on
GRUB loading, please wait
for a while, about 20 s, then it enters the grub shell, where it
occasionally worked with a "reboot" but most of the times not.
This problem was noticed with grub 0.97.
The installation CD (6.06) booted flawlessly (ok had to
add noapic usb-handoff to not hang later)

To fix the grub hanging I copied grub 0.95 from another
64-bit machine (running debian sarge)
/lib/grub/x86_64-pc/*
/sbin/grub*
and reinstalled grub, then it worked.
Strange, however, is that it still takes a very long time (about 20 s) from "GRUB loading, please wait" until I get the boot menu. On other machines where I'm running grub I get the boot menu immediately.
