Public bug reported: Boot pauses for about 2 minutes where the message:
[ 15.891495] ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x2 ...is visible on screen. After about 2 minutes, the boot process resumes (next message shown on screen is "activating swap..."). I do not see the ubuntu logo, progress bar or any other artwork at all during the boot process. As far as I can tell everything works fine once booted, but I would like to get to the bottom of why it is taking so long to start up. I think this problem began when I updated to the 2.6.17.10 kernel from 2.6.17.8, so presumably it is a bug. I guess I can re-install an older kernel to check if it will help. >From dmesg, I see an ACPI exception logged immediately before the message that I see on screen: [ 15.891490] ACPI Exception (acpi_processor-0693): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present [20060707] I found a report of the same problem on the forums, but no explanation or resolution, and I can't find the problem recorded here Launchpad. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Boot delayed following message "Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x2" https://launchpad.net/bugs/64280 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
