Where's the grub boot menu?

Howdy list,

I'm sure this must be a simple problem, but I can't find it on Google. 

When I boot my server, grub always drops me into it's shell, instead of
giving me a boot menu, or even booting the default. Having to type 3
lines at least 40 characters long just to get it to boot each time gets
a bit tiring. 

I have tried changing the default line in menu.lst, as well as an
update-grub and even a grub-install, all to no avail. 

Can anyone point out what I'm missing?

Thanks,
Jacob
