I'm having a very similar problem to what is being described here. Previously my boot times were very quick, now I'm waiting several minutes before things get going.
uname -a Linux Hyde 2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 20 14:21:58 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux And the offending dmesg: [ 6.372151] scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access Generic- Compact Flash 1.01 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 [ 6.372753] scsi 6:0:0:1: Direct-Access Multiple Flash Reader 1.05 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 [ 6.373064] sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 [ 6.373140] sd 6:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 [ 6.375124] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk [ 6.375746] sd 6:0:0:1: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk [ 217.071559] udev: starting version 151 [ 217.079336] lp: driver loaded but no devices found Looking at the Disk Utility after I finally do boot in I find that sdb and sdc are the card readers. Another side effect I'm seeing is a huge wait time between the Login Screen and finally getting to the desktop. So I click my User, 20 second pause, I type my password, 2 minute pause or more then I get to my desktop. I'm unsure if these two problems are related. Now to be honest, I've been doing some development playing with the FTDI FT232RL USB to Serial, so perhaps something with this broke my system. I'll keep playing around, perhaps I can find the culprit. -- Lucid slow boot time (pauses on boot 4 and 12 seconds long without output and log records) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576448 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
