I have an hypothesis. I have seen that when I do a grub ls on my bios_boot (flag in GPARTED) partition, it takes about 3 mins to list it. I believe this is due to the fact that I put clear partition typed for that partition in gparted. So I belive that when grub 2.0.2 do a search on that partition, it try to 'mount' it with all known partition types to figure out what it is.
So what I am thinking to do is to add on my search commands, the undocumented hint=[guess to what the search should return as partition answer], that way, I expect search to try that partition first, and then avoid passing by the bios_boot partition without a known type that make things very slow. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420933 Title: Current grub-pc takes several minutes to show menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/grub/+bug/420933/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
