[Bug 577120] Re: Grub 2 long delay while loading Ubuntu kernel

I can confirm that the issue has not been resolved by upgrading to 10.10 nor by updating to the latest cores. The issue is possibly related to BIOS/motherboard incompatibility with GRUB 2, which in my opinion needs to be resolved as soon as possible. This bug has been reported since May 2010. --

@Joshua Roberts. Disclaimer: this workaround concerns only those who also have an nVidia graphics card and are facing problems with Plymouth, the splash utility.

Right, I have been looking at the kernel.log, after paying closer attention at the startup videos. Now, once the boot up process has began, it goes pretty fast. There is only one point where it actually stops--for about 12 seconds: May 4 18:13:05 GANDALF-PC kernel: [8.39] sd 10:0:0:3: [sd

Additional comment to clear things up a bit: I believe that the long latency before boot-up is caused by changes between GRUB2 and legacy GRUB (this problem was not caused in legacy) as I am booting from an external USB drive. It appears that linux and initrd commands read files at lower speeds

This is not a fixed issue. I believe that this particular bug causes a 35-40 second delay to Lucid Lynx booting up on my NForce system. Once the error appears, only then does the splash screen also appear and the system boots up (there is distinct hd activity with the login screen soon to follow).
