[Bug 1093483] Re: Precise very slow on boot

[John Rose]

I've established the cause: it's due to having a USB Hub attached to a
USB socket (on the rear of the PC as there are no front USB sockets on
this PC). I've also found out that this occurs on 64 bit Precise (as
well as 32 bit Precise) as I've clean installed 64 bit Precise. Re
whether the delay occurs before or after grub menu, I don't know for
sure as I don't have the grub menu displayed: I suspect that it's before
as there are no disk sounds until the delay finishes. If you want me to
find out for sure, I'll use Grub Customizer to display the grub menu &
I'll reconnect the USB Hub before rebooting.

Title:
  Precise very slow on boot

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
   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.
