I have this same issue on Sony Vaio VGN-FS415M when running: 2.6.15-26-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 3 03:13:28 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
As well as the long pause mounting the root file system, I also see the following issues. * Slow execution of 2d redraw when executing apps like Gnome terminal * Different scaling over 386 kernel that pushed temperature of lappy up on average by 5 degrees celcius. Using bittorrent pushed scaling up to 100% whereas it doesn't on 386 kernel. * Choppy video playback. None of the above issues exist when using the 386 variant of the kernel. -- Slow boot time since update to kernel 2.6.15-25-686 https://launchpad.net/bugs/50588 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
