Jarrett, The good news is that the deafening silence you referred to in a forum post is a problem the Ubuntu Team is trying to solve: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Specs/ImproveSponsorshipQueue
The bad news is that the proposed solutions are waiting on 11.04 release. My advice would be to hop on IRC and mention the issue there, referencing this ticket. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/595448 Title: Slow boot caused by SATA controller reset -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
