Somehow I missed this. fd0 is your 3.5: floppy drive, and apparently it has gone South. Disconnect the data and power cables from the drive, disable it in the BIOS, and see if the grub and kernel boot delays disappear. Or, maybe it's possible you don't have a floppy drive, but one is configured in the BIOS. This may also cause a lengthy delay. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
