Comment 4 for bug 157758

martind : Thanks a lot for your great work with these duplicate bugs. I opened them all and associated them with their duplicates.

This bug is a duplicate of bug 150930 which is caused by wrong values written in the /etc/usplash.conf file during the installation of ubuntu Gutsy. It is now fixed in next ubuntu release Hardy. The very slow boot time is caused by bug 61711 which often happens when the /etc/usplash.conf file does not contain correct values. You can find workaround for your problems on these two bug reports. Thanks for the time you took to report this bug and feel free to report any other bugs you might find.
