upgraded 10.04 to 10.10 with the graphical interface (update-manager -d).
after the upgrade boot is very slow and seems to hang at hard drive(?) recognition and fsck.
system: Lenovo S12, with nVidia Corporation MCP79 motherboard.
* some delay was caused by upstart scripts that were launching rpc calls over a non mounted /var partition (/var/lib/nfs was not accessible): fixed with a manual inclusion of a "local-filesystems" condition in the "start on" entry in the /etc/init/*conf files.
* wireless (Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)) was after the upgrade incorrectly configured with both its driver (STA) and acer-wmi, causing a soft block entry in "rfkill list". Solved blacklisting acer-wmi in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

with this, the boot time went down from 5+ minutes to 180+ seconds, but now the issue seems hard disk recognition.
reinstalling udev didn't cause any change (sudo dpkg -P --force-depends udev && sudo apt-get install udev).
