GRUB takes 30 seconds to load stage 2

Hi,
When I boot my computer, I'm left looking at a screen that reads "GRUB
loading stage2..." for almost exactly 30 seconds before the GRUB menu
pops up.
I'm using grub-0.95-3.5 on a Centos 4.0 distro. Here is the contents
of my grub.conf file:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
password --md5 $1$JvoNNfCU$L6VqcVpF5qT5Ycbk0ka501
title CentOS (2.6.9-34.EL)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-34.EL ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-34.EL.img
title CentOS 4.0 (2.6.9-5.0.3.EL)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL.img
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any suggestions of how to remove this 30 second pause?? I'm not even
interested in being able choose between my linux versions, I'd be happy
for just the default to load up each time.
And finally, when I say "almost exactly", I mean that the only time I
measured the pause with a stopwatch, it was 30 seconds dead. Perhaps
this suggests something is timing-out somewhere?
Many thanks,
Duncan Jones
