Yes I can confirm 2.6.15-26-686 #1 SMP does not exhibit the "long" hang problem (i.e. the 3 minute one).
The short hang (6 seconds) is still there, in the same place, but that's bearable. Thanks guys, Alex -- Multi-minute hang on boot on IBM T60p https://launchpad.net/bugs/52689 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
