Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta3-1
Severity: normal
I have the same speed problems described by the bug report creator.
After disable graphical mode the speed increases significant.
Between Welcome to Gub message and menu only some seconds needed, the grub
shell does not appear any more.
The boot directory is homed on /dev/md0 and the /usr/share/grub/ directory
needed in case of graphical boot mode
is located in seperate a Raid / LVM partition.
Here is my /etc/default/grub file, to disable graphical terminal
--------------------- snip -----------------------------------------
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
GRUB_TERMINAL=console
# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entrys
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY="true"
--------------------- snap -----------------------------------------
I hope, this observation helps to find the error.
