Thanks for your response, can I ask why do you say that the software RAID is the problem? It is there also when I'm using 2.5 GiB RAM and everything goes smooth.
In addition, the "slowness" begin just a fraction of second after the grub splash disappear, tons of log's lines before the kernel only know of the software RAID. I can say just after the processor is recognized, very, very soon. If you need, I can try to boot with the 3 GiB of RAM *and* without the RAID disks to see if something change. PS: If you refer to the fdisk -l output I can say that is the standard output for a software RAID, there is no problem if fdisk can't see a "valid partition table", because the /md0 is only a fake device (created via mdadm) *directly* formatted as ext3, with no partitions. I have seen others software RAID that had the same configuration with no problems. -- [Hardy] 3 GiB of RAM make linux *slow* https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245222 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
