Confirmed on Jaunty, Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop. BUT I have had this
problem since Intrepid came out - only just managed to find time to work
out what it was.

uname -a: Linux marvin 2.6.28-15-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 18
18:40:08 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

Traced slowness to cleaning of /tmp in S36mountall-bootclean by adding
some echo commands in the /lib/init/bootclean.sh script. This is the
slow line:

[ -d /tmp ] && ! [ -f /tmp/.clean ] && { clean_tmp || ES=1 ; }

Likewise cleaning /tmp doesn't help for me, bootup still very slow. /tmp
is on an ext3 filesystem (/).

Not sure yet which line inside clean_tmp is the slow one, but bootchart
shows a "sh" process taking an extremely long time, just before a "find"
and an "xargs". Will try to narrow it down further later on.
