Comment 135 for bug 540801

I tried the commands in comments #2 and #29. I've an ATI Radeon 7500 on a Compaq Evo N610c laptop.
Boot time before was 40.5 seconds and boot time after was 41.3 seconds. I noticed however, that booting is faster when I shut down and then start vs. when I "restart" - restarting took 46.7 sec (before the changes). In both cases, I start the timer from the grub screen when I select the operating system (still using Karmic until I get all the Lucid issues resolved...).

Thank you!
