grub2 startup freeze

I got a dual boot with grub2, but everytime I turn on the computer and the booter is loaded, I can't handle the menu, so I am forced to wait the countdown and choose the default option.

I'd really like to know why!

This is my grub.cfg,

Code:

# # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub #  ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### insmod part_gpt insmod part_msdos if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ]; then   load_env fi set default="0" if [ "${prev_saved_entry}" ]; then   set saved_entry="${prev_saved_entry}"   save_env saved_entry   set prev_saved_entry=   save_env prev_saved_entry   set boot_once=true fi  function savedefault {   if [ -z "${boot_once}" ]; then     saved_entry="${chosen}"     save_env saved_entry   fi }  function load_video {   insmod vbe   insmod vga   insmod video_bochs   insmod video_cirrus }  set menu_color_normal=light-gray/black set menu_color_highlight=red/black  insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd0,msdos7)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 278bc72e-d985-4f5b-b4a3-b905f913b46e if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then set gfxmode=1024x768   load_video   insmod gfxterm   insmod part_msdos   insmod ext2   set root='(hd0,msdos5)'   search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 04ac1245-d0fd-4808-9ab9-ea0a63041e23   set locale_dir=($root)/grub/locale   set lang=it_IT   insmod gettext fi terminal_input console terminal_output gfxterm set timeout=5 ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ###  ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### menuentry 'Arch Linux, with Linux vmlinuz26' --class archlinux --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {     load_video     set gfxpayload=keep     insmod part_msdos     insmod ext2     set root='(hd0,msdos5)'     search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 04ac1245-d0fd-4808-9ab9-ea0a63041e23     echo    'Loading Linux vmlinuz26 ...'     linux    /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/278bc72e-d985-4f5b-b4a3-b905f913b46e ro  quiet splash     echo    'Loading initial ramdisk ...'     initrd    /kernel26.img } menuentry 'Arch Linux, with Linux vmlinuz26 Fallback' --class archlinux --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {     load_video     set gfxpayload=keep     insmod part_msdos     insmod ext2     set root='(hd0,msdos5)'     search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 04ac1245-d0fd-4808-9ab9-ea0a63041e23     echo    'Loading Linux vmlinuz26 ...'     linux    /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/278bc72e-d985-4f5b-b4a3-b905f913b46e ro  quiet splash     echo    'Loading initial ramdisk ...'     initrd    /kernel26-fallback.img } ### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###  ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### ### END /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ###  ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ### ### END /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ###  ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" --class windows --class os {     insmod part_msdos     insmod ntfs     set root='(hd0,msdos1)'     search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 143C83163C82F252     chainloader +1 } ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###  ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.

My computer is a toshiba L655-121, with a intel i5-450m processor, wich got an integrated vga. Maybe is this the cause?

How should I handle it?

update-grub

update-grub(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    update-grub(8)

NAME

       update-grub - program to generate GRUB's menu.lst file

SYNOPSIS

       update-grub

DESCRIPTION

       update-grub  is a program used to generate the menu.lst file used by the grub bootloader.  It works by looking in /boot for all files which
       start with "vmlinuz-". They will be treated as kernels, and grub menu entries will be created for each. It will	also  create  the  initial
       menu.lst if none exists, after prompting the user.  It will also add initrd lines for ramdisk images found with the same version as kernels
       found. e.g. /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.5 and /boot/initrd-2.4.5 will cause a line of "initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.5 or similar to be added for the  ker-
       nel entry in the menu.lst.

       After  update-grub  has been run for the first time, the user is required to edit the generated menu.lst. The user must set the two options
       update-grub uses. Then re-run the update-grub script to update the menu.lst file using the default's that have been set.

       These are the options passed to the linux kernel:
       # kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
       Everything after "kopt=" is passed to the kernel as parameters. See bootparam(7) for more information.

       This is the grub device from which grub loads the kernel:
       # groot=(hd0,1)
       (hd0,1) is a partition in grub notation. See grub(8) for more information.

       This option controls if grub should create the alternative boot options in the menu entries
       # alternative=true
       # alternative=false

       This option controls if grub should lock the alternative boot options see grub(8) for more information.
       # lockalternative=true
       # lockalternative=false

       This option controls if grub should lock the old kernels.
       # lockold=true
       # lockold=false

       This options controls what is used for the alternative boot options, multiple altoptions lines are allowed.
       # altoptions=(some description) some kernel command line options
       # altoptions=(recovery option) single
       The description is placed in '()' and the kernel command line options follow that.
       # updatedefault=true
       # updatedefault=false

       This option controls if grub should update the default entry to keep booting the same kernel even if a new one is installed.

       The update-grub script can be ran automagically from the /etc/kernel-img.conf file by adding the following lines:

       postinst_hook = update-grub
       postrm_hook = update-grub
       do_bootloader = no

       For further information related to /etc/kernel-img.conf, see the manpage kernel-img.conf(5).

SEE ALSO

       grub(8), grub-install(8), kernel-img.conf(5) (contained in the kernel-package package), bootparam(7).

       The full documentation for grub is maintained as a Texinfo manual in the grub-legacy-doc package.  If the info and grub programs are  prop-
       erly installed at your site, the command

	      info grub

       should give you access to the complete manual.
