I have new netbook Mivvy L310 with Ubuntu Linux 8.04 pre-installed (!). I installed latest version (9.04) but this bug is still on. When I switch netbook on, it takes between half minute and 1 minute while this message is displayed before boot process continue. Needless to say, very fast boot of 9.04 version is useless now. This pause definitely should be removed. There is nothing user can do with it anyway and netbook functions perfectly once it goes away. Upgrading BIOS (of a new computer) does not sound like sane workaround to me.
