Package: grub-pc Version: 1.96+20090808-1 Severity: normal
This is a regression from 1.96+20090725-1. After installing the new version to the mbr with grub-install /dev/sda, it takes nearly a minute to load the menu and then an other minute to load the kernel. During this time I can hear a strange very regular clicking/beeping sound from my hard disk as if the head is repeating the same motion over and over again. $ lshw -C storage *-storage description: SATA controller product: 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) SATA AHCI Controller vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 1f.2 bus info: p...@0000:00:1f.2 version: 02 width: 32 bits clock: 66MHz capabilities: storage msi pm ahci_1.0 bus_master cap_list configuration: driver=ahci latency=0 resources: irq:28 ioport:18d0(size=8) ioport:18c4(size=4) ioport:18c8(size=8) ioport:18c0(size=4) ioport:18b0(size=16) memory:ee444400-ee4447ff $ hdparm -I /dev/sda /dev/sda: ATA device, with non-removable media Model Number: Hitachi HTS722020K9SA00 Serial Number: 071220DP0410DTG8YGXP Firmware Revision: DC4OC76A Transport: Serial, ATA8-AST, SATA 1.0a, SATA II Extensions, SATA Rev 2.5; Revision: ATA8-AST T13 Project D1697 Revision 0b Kevin -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/root / xfs rw,noatime,noquota 0 0 /dev/sda7 /home xfs rw,noatime,noquota 0 0 /dev/sda7 /i386/home xfs rw,noatime,noquota 0 0 /dev/root /i386/etc/apt xfs rw,noatime,noquota 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/sda *********************** END /boot/grub/device.map *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### set default=0 set timeout=5 set root=(hd0,5) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 27b1b881-6a39-47e9-8929-25b97eecae2f if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then set gfxmode=640x480 insmod gfxterm insmod vbe if terminal_output.gfxterm ; then true ; else # For backward compatibility with versions of terminal.mod that don't # understand terminal_output terminal gfxterm fi fi ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue set menu_color_highlight=white/blue ### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.30.014" { set root=(hd0,5) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 27b1b881-6a39-47e9-8929-25b97eecae2f linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30.014 root=/dev/sda5 ro vga=792 selinux=0 enforcing=0 resume=/dev/sda3 clocksource=hpet quiet } ### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ### menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" { linux /boot/memtest86+.bin } menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)" { linux /boot/memtest86+.bin console=ttyS0,115200n8 } ### END /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### menuentry "Microsoft Windows XP Professional (on /dev/sda1)" { set root=(hd0,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 086c417b6c416492 drivemap -s (hd0) ${root} chainloader +1 } menuentry "Ubuntu karmic (development branch) (9.10) (on /dev/sda6)" { set root=(hd0,6) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set ee67d8a0-fc38-460c-82e5-49f7cb248590 linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-2-generic root=/dev/sda6 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-2-generic } ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### ### END /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### *********************** END /boot/grub/grub.cfg -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (600, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (400, 'stable'), (300, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30.014 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages grub-pc depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy ii grub-common 1.96+20090808-1 GRand Unified Bootloader, version ii libc6 2.9-24 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii ucf 3.0018 Update Configuration File: preserv grub-pc recommends no packages.
