Re: Edgy 2.6.10 taking tens of minutes to boot up

Look for this line in /boot/grub/menu.lst:

Change that as you will, then update-grub will change the menu items
accordingly.

Thanks for your reply, I'm sure I've tried that and it has no effect,
indeed the line goes back to as it was after editing. I'll give it
another go - it was quite a while ago since I last looked at the problem
- I'm now in the habit of simply doing a :%s/quiet// in menu.lst if I
notice the boot is quiet :-)

That's interesting, I don't remember that ever happening on any of my
systems. Sorry if you already mentioned it, I have missed it then, but
what version are you running? I just dropped 'quiet' in Feisty, and it
remains to be seen when the next update comes, what happens. :)

Just to make sure, you are keeping the '#' char at the beginning of that
row, when you make changes and save the file correctly (I suppose one
could ask whether you open the file with appropriate permissions, too)?


Kind regards,
