Need some help here fellows... I just installed Ubuntu Dapper in a P4 2.8G/1GB/40GB machine and uncharacteristically is slow. I tried Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and even the Ubuntu Server, and all have the same response time.
Booting takes around 5 minutes where I was expecting around less than a minute. It is taking 1 minute for the kernel to load, initialize and do whatever it does at bootup. Then around 2.5 minutes at the "Loading Hardware Drivers" stage. And then it spends another 1 minute at loading hald. Login seems slow too. Booting up X and Gnome/KDE is slow. Starting a program in Gnome/KDE takes more than a minute, as well. I searched UbuntuForums. I saw several threads that suggests using acpi=off and noapic. Tried it. No dice. I'll search some more. I would very much appreciate your inputs.
