Phillip I am very happy that you are going to take care of this old bug. 1-The message is not in /var/log/syslog but in /var/log/boot.log of which I attach a copy 2-It slows down the boot process 3-It does not show if grub in MBR is the one installed in the system 4-It shows if grub in MBR is of one of the other linuxes in same external disk (i.e. Mint 12.04) 5-There is no bug in Manjaro Linux (base Archlinux) 6-The bug occurs also with another Western Digital( 'Passport'), which I use as storage only (not to boot in this notebook) 7-The bug shows also in a different notebook (Asus A6TC) 8-Should I update the bug report with this information? Best regards João Franco
