Why there is 60-65 sec.pause between grub menu and boot sequence

Asked by Sencer HAMARAT

Fresh installed ubuntu 14.04 on HDD, pauses ~60-65 sec. on boot time between, after pressing enter on grub menu (it disappears and cursor blinks on blank screen) and boot. I did fresh install on SSD again but nothing changed. After all I did downgrade the kernel to 3.12 but still pauses in same time span. What can be cause this puses?

Run:

dmesg | less

Look for large gaps in the time on the left, they are seconds since the kernel came up. This will give you clues.

Set your ATA to IDE compatibility mode in BIOS (if possible)

It works, thank you.

But shouldn't SSD work better by AHCI ?
