Mathew Garreth just looked at the problem and thinks this might be a udev problem.
We blacklisted ath_pci and now thinks work fine. We added ath_pci to /etc/modules and that works around the issue:-) I do not have a /var/log/udev on my system, so I can not attach it. /var is not available during bootup which might explain the missing file. -- kernel 2.6.17-6 does boot slowly on Thinkpad T43p https://launchpad.net/bugs/56249 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
