Comment: Thanks; you picked the wrong half of the page (I asked for the hald debug output on the second half). Anyway, this is obsolete now since your dmesg.txt already revealed the problem: [4295128.689000] SCSI error : <1 0 0 0> return code = 0x8000002 [4295128.689000] sda: Current: sense key: Medium Error [4295128.689000] Additional sense: Id CRC or ECC error [4295156.603000] UDF-fs: No partition found (1) So your kernel needs this long time while blocking on a read result from the floppy drive. Maybe you can try another medium? -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
