I have a system with no floppy, and with the floppy turned off in BIOS. However, I do have a media card reader, and I don't know if that looks like the floppy to the installer, but I get the same problem. It happened in Feisty, Gutsy and now with the Alpha 3 of Hardy Kubuntu. It starts fine, but then stops. dmesg thinks there is a floppy for some reason, I don't know how it gets that because the floppy option is BIOS is not selectable and says "not installed".
In short, my wait is from [60] to [281], which is almost 4 minutes. After it boots, everything works fine, and it boots into kdm without any problems once it resumes. Even installs go well. My boot time with Feisty was probably 1 minute, which is nowhere near the 6 or 7 minutes for the liveCD. I've never had floppy problems with boot or shutdown with an installed system, just the liveCDs. ** Attachment added: "dmesg file" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11591677/dmesg.txt -- [feisty] kernel boot delayed 60 secs on floppy error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95857 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
