I'm suffering from the same bug unter Ubuntu 9.10. The problem can be solved by adding a sleep timer of 20-60s (depends how fast the system is booted) the file "/usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/95hdparm-apm" before the "hdparm"-command.
"hdparm" is executed twice during the boot, and both commands are called when the boot process do the most I/O-work on the harddisk. Adding the sleep timer prevents this and "hdparm" will be executed after the heavy I/O-throughput, for example when the login manager appears and is waiting for the login. For my notebook a 20s timer works perfectly, but -- update to 0.114-0intrepid2 makes system hang for 30 seconds while booting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321219 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
