Public bug reported:
I have done a keyword search and cannot find that anyone else has mentioned
this, so I will be the one who raises this yellow flag, in the spirit of bug
report #1:
One of the advocacy points I use when trying to sell people on using Ubuntu
is the boot speed. I can (could before this week) shut down Ubuntu, rather
than "sleep" it like I do Windows, because it boots so fast -- or it used to.
Since upgrading to 11.10 Beta 1, boot time has become very slow. My
stopwatch says 148.99 seconds to get a login prompt from the grub menu. This
compared to 36.6 seconds for the Windows Vista on the other partition. When I
select a previous version of Linux, the boot time is still equally slow, so my
original guess that the kernel change made the difference is probably
incorrect. I don't know where the problem is, but something has gone very sour
in the boot up process for my favorite O.S.
Perhaps this will be a goal for next release, but something should be done
about it.
