I have the same problem, that karmic needs 10 minutes to boot.
But I have an fresh karmic installation with an swap partition.
I just deactivated the swap partition but the boot took again 10 minutes.

Before that I used jaunty with an boot time under a minute.
After upgrading to karmic and finally a fresh karmic installation I get the above results.
