Suggested newer development kernel i.e. 3.2.0-20.32 is older than the
current kernel I am running. This means that the problem exists in the
latest kernel.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed

** Tags removed: kernel-request-3.2.0-20.32

** Description changed:

  Its a strange problem that I have seen come and go.
  
  So the problem: Whenever a USB drive or eSATA drive is connected to the
  computer, the boot process takes extra long and sometimes fails (I mean
  fail as in doesn't seem to go anywhere). I have verified that fsck is
  not coincidentally taking place that's causing this delay
  
- The solution is to plug the offending devices out or plug them in after
+ The solution is to plug the offending devices out when the freeze/delay
+ has occurred. Boot then completes, sometimes. Or plug them in after
  boot. Which seems a bit unfortunate.
  
  The behaviour is also not consistent so it is hard to point a finger.
  
  Also my /etc/fstab is defined in terms of uuid so I am not sure what
  else could be the problem. Grub?
