Bug#586142: grub-pc: Shows Welcome to GRUB and reboots.

Subject: grub-pc: Shows Welcome to GRUB and reboots.
Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100614-1
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Dear Debian folks,


I upgraded from 1.98+20100602-2 to 1.98+20100614-1, chose to install the
maintainers `/etc/default/grub`, made the following changes (uncommented
the second)

    GRUB_TIMEOUT=1
    GRUB_TERMINAL=console

and executed `sudo update-grub` and rebooted.

Now the message »Welcome to GRUB!« is shown and the machine reboots
immediately. I tried to press Shift but could not get into the command
line.

Any hints on how to proceed are very welcome. I have a Debian Installer
CD image and can use it as a rescue console.


Thanks,

Paul
