[SOLVED] grub menu is automatically skipped

Thank you a lot for you fast reply. Adding the "default" option make it work. I
keep the "timeout" option, because I want it and I remember that it was from the
original installation.

Dear friends,

I have a problem with grub on fedora 13.
After hibernation, I found that I couldn't boot into Windows 7 just because the
grub menu showed up and disappear immediately and then my laptop booted into
fedora right away. Fedora is my default entry. Now I must use a trick by adding
"hiddenmenu" option and rapidly press up/down arrow key to get to grub menu.

It's not a serious problem but I still would want to solve it. Here's my
menu.lst file.

timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,5)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title Fedora 13
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.x86_64 ro
root=UUID=7edc57de-27ec-4ee9-bfe1-eeafc39cb2e9 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD
rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us
rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.x86_64.img

title Windows 7
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

Thank you.

comment out the line "timeout=10".
there should be a line "default=0" above "timeout=10".
