Public bug reported: My computer is a Dell XPS M1210 with latest Bios ( A06 ).
When booting with "quiet" option in grub, boot hangs half way of progress bar for 40-50 sec and then the bar progresses normally and GDM is shown. I tried removing the "splash" option and leaving quiet on to see the messages, and it hangs after dectecting and mounting (?) my root partition ( ext3 ) and my /home partition ( ext3 ). After this, I removed the "quiet" option and put the "splash" option and to my suprised, the computer booted in under 40 sec ( real fast )! If I put back quiet, it hangs for 40-50 sec... Tried it on Edgy and Feisty. Any ideas? ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Edgy-Feisty boot takes longer with "quiet" option https://launchpad.net/bugs/86720 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
