Public bug reported:
Me and my dad had almost exact old boxes anyways I canabalized theen to
make one box with 512megs ram and more harddrive space. Also didnt
remember but also changed my backup cd to womething that was fater but
not better. After rebuilding and reinstalling Ubuntu 7.10 the boot
seemed to take for ever. I did all the updates and same. I originally
thought this was caused by the 80 Maxor I put in it and looked for a
solusion on the Ubuntu forum but no answeres. Anyways Yesterday I used
the GNU/Hurd live cd on it and got a boot error. So I unplugged the
80gig hard drive and same. Did some problem solving and thinking and
unplugged the old crap DRWR and the live CD worked. So anyways thought
of this problem so I left the offending CDRW unplugged and booted Ubuntu
and the problem was gone and boot speeds where really good.
Also testing the cdrw in ubuntu it will not work properly so I left it
unplugged.
This may affect more systems in a dual boot set up as it may work in XP
and break with Ubuntu which leads users to think this is not the
problem.
This is a hardware compatability issue that may be hard to solve and
leave users with a very very slow boot process. I also think I saw a
YouTube vid where XP booted faster than Ubuntu. Now I have to hunt it
down and post a that that Ubuntu install is broken lol.
