Well, the problems is slightly more complicated, methinks: I am booting vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-amd64-k8 (and former ubuntu-kernels) just fine *without* the delay. I noticed the delay when I upgraded to a vanilla 2.6.17. I traced it back to a single kernel-patch introduced in the 2.6.14->2.6.15 development (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/12/308), but Kay said that it's not kernel but init-script related....
When I comment out the "Loading hardware drivers..." it seems to go away, but then no hw-drivers are loaded. But I have to reproduce this one for a current kernel... -- Hang while booting https://launchpad.net/bugs/32597 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
