Actually what fixed it was to change the grub boot timeout [not exactly sure what the actual variable name was] to a pretty large number. Looks like my old laptop sata drive just wasn't mounting fast enough and needed some extra time, if I remember right I had to crank the number pretty high.
Probably not too likely to see that happen in a more modern system. My lappy was an old 2ghz Pentium 4 with 512 ram and a hard drive from who knows where, not exactly zippy by any means. I however have got rid of my old laptop and built a new system and haven't even run into the problem again. rage9 kernel-janitor wrote: > Hi rage9, > > This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in > it recently.
