[Bug 1930884] Re: failure to boot impish daily (or too slow; i gave up ~15 mins in..)

[Chris Guiver]

incomplete... need to explore further (was this just a fluke)

next boot was done ?? (faster anyway; I was typing this & thus didn't
stop the timer sorry!!!)

I needed to file for iso.qa.ubuntu.com to fail test.

Title:
  failure to boot impish daily  (or too slow; i gave up ~15 mins in..)

Status in syslinux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Lubuntu impish daily; QA-test on

  - dell [optiplex] 780 (c2q-q9400, 8gb, amd/ati cedar radeon hd
  5000/6000/7350/8350)

  this is a slightly newer higher-end box than last few boots; one of
  which appeared to boot slowly but it's taking ages with just a
  blinking cursor... 10 mins & no progress, 12-18 mins approx & I've
  given up..

  
  ** expected result

  In 10 minutes I expect a LIVE ISO to boot

  ** actual result

  nothing but blinking cursor after grub appeared

  
  (I want to go to bed, so I didn't wait my usual 30-60 mins, so I could re-try and time it more accurately...)

  Boot earlier tonight appeared slower on 
  - dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e6850, 5gb, amd/ati radeon rv516/x1300/x1550)
  which prompted me to test on this box, but boot appeared normal on
  - dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e8300, 8gb, amd/ati radeon rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)
  - hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)

  I've tested impish far less than prior releases, but a slow boot on
  this box is unexpected...
