When will you release a bug fix for the Grub loading problem?

Asked by spider0816

Hello,
when will you fix the problem that Grub needs up to 1 minute to load. I think that is a serious Problem. But nothing happens to fix it.
It is very bad to add a packet that is so buggy and at the otherside so basic for the hole system. Please, try to resolve quick. The Boot Process is the golden eye of a system. And the Ubuntu goldeneye takes 1 minute to long.

With respect for your work
Robert

Can you add details of your machine? Also, capturing the output from sudo dmidecode will help identify the BIOS which trips this bug.
