I still have this problem with Jaunty. After the grub menu I get a black screen with the blinking cursor for 40-50 seconds. After this the booting process goes fine. I think this is an issue with grub and has something to do with the fact that I'm booting from an external USB HDD. I also tried to boot with another laptop but the result was the same.
