I can report that this bug is still present in 14.04 Server Edition. I am running an HP Proliant MicroServer G1610. The OS boots from a Sandisk Cruzer. It is a full installation, not a LiveUSB.
The delay between POST and GRUB is over 5 minutes. Reinstalling Grub does not resolve the issue. Once Grub shows up, the rest of the boot goes smoothly, and the USB drive works fine. Replacing Grub2 with Extlinux (Syslinux) results in a normal boot time that can be measured in seconds between POST and the bootloader. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247960 Title: Grub long sequential reads are extremely slow from USB2.0 HDD/FLASH drives To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/grub/+bug/247960/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
