Bug Description
Hi
This problem was present in breezy and later fixed after my bugreport, now it's back. I have KT400 motherboard with second Promise PDC20276 on-board IDE controller. I have 2.6.15-17-k7 kernel. During booting, when I choose option in grub it takes whole 2 minutes before "Uncompressing kernel..." message will show up.
This behaviour was caused in breezy by EDD [Enhanced Disk Drive calls] being enabled. EDD is considered experimental feature, not implemented on most IDE controllers and known to fail to boot on various systems.
If that's the case in dapper, please disable this option. It doesn't make any good.
