This might be a clue: when I first installed Ubuntu (Jaunty) on my PC, it had been Windows machine and I did not alter the partition table. I'm 99% sure that cold restarts at that time present Grub normally. Later, I decided to do a clean install w/ a different partition scheme so I re-created the partition table during install. Then the "no Grub on cold restart" problem began occurring.
Plan to test Grub2, but I think I better image my HD first. I don't think I have the skills to get the OS to load if Grub2 install breaks things. -- 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 Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
