           Summary: 2-minute grub freeze before booting
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P1
         Component: linux
        AssignedTo: fabbione at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: lukasz.halman at gmail.com
         QAContact: kernel-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


After successful installation of hoary, and no problems with livecd, there is a
problem with booting installed system. After selecting hoary 2.6.10-5-k7 in
grub's menu it reports that kernel and initrd is found, also show s lines
'savedefaults' and 'boot' and hangs. Nothing is happening for over 2 minutes and
after that system normally boots with any errors. Livecd doesn't have this problem.

I tried 2.6.10 and 2.6.11 kernels from hoary repository, both k7 and 386
versions. No difference. 

System specs:
AthlonXP 2500+, 1GB DDR400
GigaByte GA-7VAXP Ultra (KT400)
Radeon 9600Pro

Hoary is installed on second harddrive plugged into additional on-board Promise
PDC20276 controller. And is respectively /dev/hde2 and (hd1,1) in linux/grub.
