Slow grub, with reiserfs filesystem? I have seen that previously, but with hibernated systems. A separate /boot partition in ext2 is required.
For the rest, I dunno. Bugzilla, I guess. Hi Carlos
Well the slow problem is down to the fact that the / partition gets blitzed by the failure to unmount it prior to shut down , I dont do hibernate even on the laptop so no ext* is needed that is one of the reasons i do not hibernate is the ext requirement
The problem is the same. If the / partition was "blitzed", whatever that means, the log has to be replayed in memory by grub code before it can attempt to read the kernel and load it. This process is slow because it has been reported broken for reiserfs since 11.1 at least and will not be repaired. Remember that we use grub 1 and current version is 2, so "1" is not maintained upstream. Instead the oS guys do what they can with lot of patches. The given solution is to install /boot in a small separate partition formatted as ext2 - like it or not. Understood? >:-) That goes for the slowness of grub. Known problem, WONTFIX. And yes, that the root partition is not properly closed, is another matter, and you should report that one in a bugzilla. IMO. Suggestion: disable the splash screen display both on boot and halt, so that you can see what is happenning. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
