I am experiencing the same problems with Zotac ION F. When I boot XBMC Live which uses GRUB2 from USB-Stick it takes roughly 1 min after the GRUB Menu to get to the XBMC logo, where the "real" boot is happening. With "set debug=all" in grub.cfg you can clearly see that nothing happens within this 1 min blank screen. I already unplugged my hard drive and optical drive but unfortunately with the same result.
There is no issue when I use legacy GRUB instead. The Zotac also uses AMI BIOS. This delay is really annoying and decreases the WAF of my HTPC tremendously. I would highly welcome any fix for it! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577120 Title: Grub 2 long delay while loading Ubuntu kernel -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
