I posted a reply several weeks ago. None of the suggestions improved the situation. So then I changed frame buffer size in BIOS from 32 kB to Automatic. The boot delay dropped from 9.5 minutes to ~15 seconds, with total boot time of ~30 seconds. The scrolling difficulty in firefox disappeared. Evidently the 9.10 upgrade changed my video driver file without notifying me that it did and that I would need to change the frame buffer size in BIOS.
Now my only problem is to figure how to delete the (obsolete) video driver file that I downloaded from hp in attempts to solve the problem. Messages say I can't delete the file or folder because I'm not the owner and can't change the permissions. --- On Wed, 12/9/09, Nigel Babu <[email protected]> wrote: From: Nigel Babu <[email protected]> Subject: [Bug 483338] Re: slow boot, 9.5 minutes, of 9.10 upgrade from 9.04 To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, December 9, 2009, 9:40 PM We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while.

Status in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: During cold boot or restart of 9.10, white ubuntu logo shows briefly, then screen goes blank for more than 9 minutes (except for a few random ~10 msec flashes) until the word ubuntu appears in white and the desktop loads. Before upgrade, 9.04 booted in ~15-20 secs. Everything else seems o.k. except firefox page scroll, once activated by click, won't stop until page end.
