Comment 51 for bug 567899

I have a similar issue. The boot time is much longer compared to 9.04 about 2mins vs. 1 minute. I cannot disable a floppy in the BIOS and the laptop has none of that. While the machine is booting the messages are not shown, I can't tell which task takes longer. I'll try to find out how to bring the messages back. I enabled logging.
I also noticed that on a different machine a usb startup disk takes much longer even to get to the screen of the language selection, it is about 2mins vs. 2secs!!!! The performance of Lucid compared to Karmic is also notably inferior, such as video and visual effects.
