I can confirm this problem for the official Karmic release that shipps with version 1.97~beta4-1ubuntu3.
Before the grub menu appears the harddisks are frequently accessed for about 30secs. After I selected a system to boot, it's the same. Harddisc access for 30secs. My Harddisk constellation: /dev/sda (on IDE Controller, 320GB) /dev/sda1 (320GB, encrpted) /dev/sdb (on SATA Controller, 80GB) /dev/sdb1 (Windows, NTFS, 40GB) /dev/sdb2 (/boot, ext4, 200MB) /dev/sdb3 (/, LVM encrypted, ext4, 40GB) /dev/sdc (on SATA Controller, 500GB) /dev/sdc1 (Ubuntu 9.04, ext3, 50GB) /dev/sdc2 (Data, ext3, 450 GB) Can I provide more information that may help? -- Current grub-pc takes several minutes to show menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420933 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
