Hello! I have a similar problem after installing Ubuntu Server 10.10 to an Eee PC 4G. It seems to be frozen for 30 seconds after select a boot entry in the grub menu and then the kernel starts. I opened an interactive grub shell and entered the grub commands manually. After enter "linux ..." (4 MB kernel is loaded?) and "initrd ..." (10 MB initrd is loaded?) the system hangs for a long time before I get a prompt again. That is definitely where the system spends the 30 seconds during boot! When I finally enter the "boot" command as last command in the grub shell the kernel boots really fast and the login prompt is available after 3-4 seconds.
So the issue clearly is the time it takes for the "linux" and "initrd" command of grub to finish whatever they do! -- initrd image is read really slowly when booting from USB2.0 HDD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247960 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for grub. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
