[Bug 175939] Grub boot menu doesn't appear after suspending to disk (hibernating) and powering on the machine (it should allow only specific kernel or other OS's)

Well, I agree someway with the last arguments. It's good to keep the user's
data safe, but, without even the user ignoring it?
I mean: I consider myself an advanced user and I have suffered this
inconsistent problem just once (some years ago, using two hard disks with
Windows, and Hibernating and using the other to boot), but since then I haven't
been in the situation of sharing partitions. It's not very usual for the common
user then.
I would personally vote for, not only making this configurable by a sysconfig
variable, but make it too via YAST or some automated UI, giving very big
WARNING messages before enabling it, and also giving the warning at GRUB just
before selecting to boot into an OS and having hibernated the last time.
Just my 2 cents. Thanks for all comments on the bug.
