Recently in grub2 issues in Ubuntu Category
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid from a daily build yet couldn't boot into my fresh new desktop because I needed to add nomodeset to the grub2 boot line and didn't know how to do that because there was no boot screen visible.
The answer? Not esc but
Hidden
* No menu entries are displayed. The splash screen, if configured, will be displayed.
* The user can interrupt the boot process and display the menu by holding down the SHIFT key until the menu displays.
* GRUB 2 searches for a depressed SHIFT key signal during boot. If the key is pressed or GRUB 2 cannot determine the status of the key, the menu is displayed.
Do yourself a big favor - read the full Ubuntu Grub2 community page before you try Ubuntu Lucid.
