I have the same issue, with similar hardware (I'll post the exact specs & error messages when i'm back from work). The system keeps having "Buffer I/O error on device sdb" on startup, which considerably slows the sequence. The problem is that, to my knowledge, I don't have any sdb device.
My Hardy distribution was upgraded from Gutsy, which did not have that startup issue. -- long startup time in ubuntu hardy heron https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222271 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
