I did experiment with the disk layout until I had the "long boot" layout.
I have now two virtual hard disks. The first does contain a bunch of parititions, but no real OS The second does contain Ubuntu 9.10 with grub2 package installed Grub is installed in both, the first and the second virtual hard disk (done via dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc, marking /dev/sda and /dev/sdb). If I choose to boot from the first hard drive -> long boot time for grub If I choose the second hard drive -> short boot Afterwards I did "make install" and then grub-install /dev/sdb. I then booted the system from the first hard drive, so I used in fact the old grub. But the problem was fixed. Somehow strange, but that would mean that it is the modules which are not playing well, since these were the only "new" parts that were used. So yes, I assume the bug is somehow fixed, at least in trunk. I can reproduce this behaviour easily, I have taken a snapshot so I can go back before the install. So if I can help, tell me what to do. Connecting to the serial interface of the VM should be possible. -- Current grub-pc takes several minutes to show menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420933 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
