Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub2
After GRUB2 is loaded, I select Lucid Lynx and hit enter (it does not matter which kernel). It then takes roughly 40 seconds before the system starts to boot, while the screen remains dark during this time with no activity from the HD. This is a 64-bit fresh install of 10.04 on an external USB drive (although the issue was also present at an upgrade installation from 9.10). See attached files for System info. There are no messages apparent in dmesg, kernel.log, or any other logs, as they do not begin to register any activity until after the 40 seconds have passed. Further investigation has revealed the issue to be related to the time it takes GRUB to run the "linux" and "initrd" commands (13 and 25 seconds, respectively). Please consult the following videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUnc2iBeXmw (normal startup) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMrjorH3gmU (debug startup) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00zGomqwrQM (custom grub - loaded from cd) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsEjDvUVUNE (custom grub with debug on) This bug may be related to bug #451202 and bug #482927. As more and more onus is given to startup times, I feel this is something that needs to be looked at. ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Grub 2 long delay while loading Ubuntu kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577120 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
