Hello,

Can anyone give me a hand figuring out what GRUB is up to on my machine?

Basically when I turn on the machine, the usual checks are made (gfx
card, RAM etc) and then I get the message that GRUB is loading, nothing
then happens for about 5 mins before loading up the menu screen (ie
Linux, Floppy, Safe mode etc). Linux then loads as usual

This has never happened before today and am not sure where to start
looking, is there a log for GRUB's activities or something? Anyone had
this kinda problem before?

Any help gratefully received.
