Are there any other errors on the screen and no seconds counting down?
Is there something that might be pressing an up or down arrow or the letter e? This would halt the countdown causing it to wait for further commands.
Does it also do this with no screen attached?
The default is supposed to be a timeout of 5 seconds this is set in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file which is probably still the default if you have never used the console terminal.
No other errors, the menu.lst is ok. But no Countdown :-(
I made a fresh install, same problem. with or without connected screen.

Well it sounds like you are not alone on this problem with GRUB. Best suggestions I have been able to find from a web search is to try booting without a keyboard or mouse plugged in. Though note to do this you will probably need to change the bios to not halt on keyboard/mouse errors.
The other option is to set the timeout to 0, but this effectively disables the recovery mode.

Wow - I have no idea on this one :(
Let us know if setting the timeout to 0 has any effect.
