Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub2
The "Grub loading." message only shows if the shift key was held down, otherwise only a blank screen with a blinking cursor is shown. It takes over 60 seconds before boot continues / menu is shown. /boot is on raid1 (md0) and the root fs is a logical volume on another raid1 (possibly not available and the reason for the delay?) >From the grub.cfg: ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ]; then load_env fi set default="0" if [ ${prev_saved_entry} ]; then set saved_entry=${prev_saved_entry} save_env saved_entry set prev_saved_entry= save_env prev_saved_entry set boot_once=true fi function savedefault { if [ -z ${boot_once} ]; then saved_entry=${chosen} save_env saved_entry fi } function recordfail { set recordfail=1 if [ -n ${have_grubenv} ]; then if [ -z ${boot_once} ]; then save_env recordfail; fi; fi } insmod raid insmod mdraid insmod lvm insmod ext2 set root='(vg0-root)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 449................ if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then set gfxmode=640x480 insmod gfxterm insmod vbe if terminal_output gfxterm ; then true ; else # For backward compatibility with versions of terminal.mod that don't # understand terminal_output terminal gfxterm fi fi insmod raid insmod mdraid insmod ext2 set root='(md0)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 512.............................. set locale_dir=($root)/grub/locale set lang=de insmod gettext if [ ${recordfail} = 1 ]; then set timeout=-1 else set timeout=10 fi ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### set menu_color_normal=white/black set menu_color_highlight=black/light-gray ### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### menuentry 'Ubuntu, mit Linux 2.6.32-22-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { recordfail insmod raid insmod mdraid insmod ext2 set root='(md0)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 512............................... linux /vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic root=/dev/mapper/vg0-root ro quiet splash initrd /initrd.img-2.6.32-22-generic } ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- "Grub loading." takes very long https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577369 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
