  Binary package hint: ureadahead
  
  I upgraded to 10.04 beta from 9.10 as soon as i could using "update-
  manager -d". the install went fine, rebooted remarkably fast, and ran
  beautifully. I restarted my system after applying updates, loaded into
  plymouth, at which point the boot hung with all the little lights on
  under the plymouth emblem red and not cycling. my hdd access light was
  on, so i figured i'd restart once the light went out. 20 mins later, the
  system actually loaded. I didn't like the 20 boot time, and figured it
  may have been an error in the update, so i downloaded the live cd.
  again, loaded beautifully, installed fine, restarted quickly, installed
  updates, rebooted again and again the system hung at plymouth. the drive
  seems to make a *CLICK,click* sound. I was not having any luck finding
  anybody else on the forums with these same or similar symptoms, so i
  assumed maybe it was the cd, so i downloaded the alt install cd with the
  same exact effect. I have tried loading grub2 without the "quiet" and
  "splash" options, with the same basic results (hang after text boot, no
  splash). Funny thing is, no matter how long the boot actually takes, the
  bootchart shows under 400 secs.
  
  Ubuntu lucid (development branch) 10.04 beta1
  ureadahead ver. 0.100.0-4.1
  kernel 2.6.32-18.27
  
  here are links to the boot charts from the ureadahead test suggested by
  keybuk in the "all about ureadahead" sticky;
  
  test 1 with ureadahead.conf disabled:

  test 3 standard:

  I also saved a copy of "sudo ureadahead --dump":

  Thank you for your time on this -BEER!!!
