Comment 82 for bug 432089

I am also having increased boot times after upgrading Karmic. It is on its own partition, and I'm using a HDD. I havent run this command yet: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-boot/ppa
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Sometimes on boot, I get the new splash logo, and other times its a text based boot. It seems like the boot process always gets into trouble when its time to load my partitions. Upon first upgrading, it used to get stuck on loading the different partitions but then after trying to boot into recovery mode and failing with a garbled blue screen and several reboots later, I was able to boot into Karmic. As of now, boot is really slow and when I randomly get the text based start up, it seems like it progresses a lot slower than Jaunty where various messaged splashed on the screen rather quickly before boot.
