[Bug 576448] Re: Lucid slow boot time (pauses on boot 4 and 12 seconds long without output and log records)

[Chris Zeh]

I'm having a very similar problem to what is being described here.

Previously my boot times were very quick, now I'm waiting several
minutes before things get going.

uname -a
Linux Hyde 2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 20 14:21:58 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

And the offending dmesg:
[    6.372151] scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access     Generic- Compact Flash    1.01 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0
[    6.372753] scsi 6:0:0:1: Direct-Access     Multiple Flash Reader     1.05 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0
[    6.373064] sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0
[    6.373140] sd 6:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0
[    6.375124] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
[    6.375746] sd 6:0:0:1: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk
[  217.071559] udev: starting version 151
[  217.079336] lp: driver loaded but no devices found


Looking at the Disk Utility after I finally do boot in I find that sdb and sdc are the card readers.

Another side effect I'm seeing is a huge wait time between the Login
Screen and finally getting to the desktop. So I click my User, 20 second
pause, I type my password, 2 minute pause or more then I get to my
desktop. I'm unsure if these two problems are related.

Now to be honest, I've been doing some development playing with the FTDI
FT232RL USB to Serial, so perhaps something with this broke my system.
I'll keep playing around, perhaps I can find the culprit.
