I have a similar delay problem using an external USB 2.0 hard drive. I boot up from it using karmic 32bit using Grub2. The external drive is IDE (PATA), 320GB, the file system is ext3, power comes from two USB connections. Does the same issue exist on SATAII external hard drives driven by USB power?
