Public bug reported: After selecting Ubuntu 10.04 (64 bit fresh installation) in GRUB, it takes approximately 40 seconds for Ubuntu to start booting up. The screen remains completely blank and there is no Hard Disk activity. Only after this period of time does the system actively boot up, with a flashing cursor at first and then, just before the splash appears, there are three error messages (sometimes just one is visible):
May 3 18:16:23 GANDALF-PC kernel: [ 9.356766] ACPI: resource nForce2_smbus [0x1c00-0x1c3f] conflicts with ACPI region SM00 [0x1c00-0x1c05] May 3 18:16:23 GANDALF-PC kernel: [ 9.356769] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver May 3 18:16:23 GANDALF-PC kernel: [ 9.356771] nForce2_smbus 0000:00:0a.1: Error probing SMB1. This is similar to bug #440470 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/linux/+bug/440470) reported for Karmic. I cannot say with any certainty whether it is these errors that are causing the long delay at boot, but they could well be. I have attached the kern.log and also intend to attach a video showing the boot sequence to this bug. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further details. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Ubuntu boot delay - nForce error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575296 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
