Always had this same problem since Ubuntu 8 on Acer Travelmate 6292 and other laptops. ONLY happens when running Ubuntu from an external (USB) 2.5" HDD. I also tried 9.04 and 9.10 (Grub 2), and bought a different external HDD, but nothing changes, GRUB is still slow (about 20-30 seconds before the actual booting process starts).
