I am also seeing long pauses on boot-up of Maverick (and Lucid was doing it too, before the upgrade), and I use the escape key to continue, however the number of times I press the escape key varies distinctly from 1 to 6 times, so this is probably a race condition. There is usually a dmesg entry right before (or very nearly before) the pause like:
[ 8.085519] udev[446]: starting version 163 -- [Maverick] ~30s boot pause https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/625395 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
