[Bug 1093483] Re: Precise very slow on boot

[John Rose]

** Tags added: apport-collected

** Description changed:

   I had under Lucid packages installed for Daniel Richter's grub-
  customizer & Mario Guererio's plymouthmanager ppa's. After upgrade from
  Lucid to Precise all OK & booting in under 1 minute. Suddenly, boot
  takes about 3 minutes with display stuck on BIOS screen but without IOS
  being interruptible using F2/Del/F12 keys. I never previously saw &
  don't now see boot splash screen, even though I've now changed to a
  splash screen (amended one from those in /usr/share/images/boot/ by
  changing its resolution to 800x600 which matches grub-customizer's
  settings) created by package grub-splashimages. I've removed plymouth-
  manager package & corresponding ppa but it made no difference.
