I tested my laptop with intrepid livedc for 32 and 64bit versions and the results are the same. Booting the kernel stops at some point (usually after something about SCSI subsystem or usb stuff) and I have to press keyboard buttons to eventually get to the gdm. Below is part of my dmesg dump. note this huge pause:
[ 2.582437] forcedeth 0000:00:06.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 2.603007] No dock devices found. [ 2.618374] SCSI subsystem initialized [ 2.668233] libata version 3.00 loaded.

When I came back and pressed some random keyboard buttons it started loading again (but I still had to press the buttons). I am attaching full dmesg.log file. After getting to starting services (these with [ OK ] at the end of each line) computer seems to carry on normal boot. On the other hand Hardy liveCD seems to boot normally. ** Attachment added: "dmesg.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19407716/dmesg.log -- Errors in kern.log cause long boot time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
