[Bug 575296] Re: Ubuntu boot delay - nForce error

[sanctimon]

Additional comment to clear things up a bit:
I believe that the long latency before boot-up is caused by changes between GRUB2 and legacy GRUB (this problem was not caused in legacy) as I am booting from an external USB drive. It appears that linux and initrd commands read files at lower speeds than they should be from within this setup (see System info attachment). I still consider this a bug under Ubuntu (GRUB2 is now the standard under Ubuntu) and expect this to be resolved. Please advise whether a new bug needs to be created.

However, I must note that I do not think that the two problems are
unrelated. There may still be a connection between GRUB not being able
to read from a USB drive as fast as it should and Ubuntu not properly
recognising nVidia's chipsets. There is still the problem of the shorter
latency as described by zoli4290 above when the error messages pop up.

This is a regression from a 9.04/9.10 which was working fine, therefore
please do the necessary in looking into it. There are several people
affected, if you include bug #440470. Thank you.
