I've had this problem since Fiesty release. Bootup takes about 4 minutes. I keep hoping the next kernel update will fix it but no dice. I've tried adding "irqpoll" to the menu.lst boot options but that has no effect for me. Bug 96826 seems to be related to a cdburner but my computer does not have a Lite-on burner, only a regular cdrom.
MB: Asus P4S8X HD: Western Digital 320GB IDE (on primary IDE interface) (I recently upgraded but had same issue with last HD) CDR: Aopen CD-952E (on second IDE interface) In addition to trying the irqpoll boot option, I've tried disabling the cdrom and turning off the "Plug and Play OS" bios option (workarounds reported in other bugs). If there are other workarounds I haven't found them. I was hoping yesterday's kernel update would be the one to fix this problem but instead it just broke my menu.lst. It completely removed my windows dual-boot menu option, changed the Ubuntu root back to hd0,0 but it's now on hd0,1 since the hard-drive upgrade, and the UUID is back to the pre-upgrade volume ID. It seems like it replaced some backup version of the menu.lst file to what it was after install but how can it do that? Anyway, that's all off-topic but it pisses me off just the same. If any logs will help just let me know. My dmesg output is quite similar to the original poster's but I've attached it. ** Attachment added: "dmesg output" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8037845/dmesg.txt -- ATA errors cause LONG boot time in Feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109130 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
