Bug Description

in linux-kernel 2.6.22 and 2.6.20 in feisty and gutsy after suspending or pressing more than 5 seconds the power button to hard shutdown, grub lasts 20 seconds at "grub loading stage 1.5" and after selecting the kernel to boot too. the hard drive is very active at this time. the bug is reproducible with feisty and edgy and with two different computers.

after a normal restart or shutdown everything boots ok and grub is much faster

any ideas what it could be?

thanks

I have had a similar problem under edgy, feisty, gutsy, and hardy beta, but I finally found this page explaining it: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/grub-very-slow-427442/ . The problem seems to be that grub has a problem finding files on the /boot directory when it is on a reiserfs partition. I installed hardy release candidate reformatting / as an ext3 partition, and now I don't don't have the 30 second pause while grub is "starting up," and another delay before loading the image. So I think this *is* a bug, but it does have a workaround.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?

The bug only appeared with a reiserfs-boot-partition. As I have ext3 now, there are no problems any more.
