I have exactly same problem with my thinkpad R51e and feisty fawn. The slow boot happens due to acpi stuff, in particular it takes ibm_acpi and battery modules ~20s and 1m to load respectively.
Current work around that I use is blacklisting them. To do this add blacklist ibm_acpi blacklist battery to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist -- loading ACPI modules and starting HALd took too long time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107516 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
