waiting for root file system

[iahim]

Hardware: Toshiba satellite Pro 6000, Celeron 1066 MHz, 384M RAM, HDD 80G Samsung.
Problem: When booting Xubuntu 8.04 Beta it takes about 2 minutes while previous Xubuntu 7.04 took less than 1 minute.
There is a big delay when the system is "waiting for root file system" , the same is much faster in Xubuntu 7.04.
ACPI is enabled in both Xubuntu 8.04 Beta and Xubuntu 7.04.
I would expect Xubuntu 8.04 Beta to boot as fast as Xubuntu 7.04 but it takes twice as much.

Hi Daniel,

After the newest updates it is OK, it was fixed ! Boot time is normal again - thanks.

However I shall report another bug related to suspend mode for the same laptop.

Regards,
Mihai.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Same problem in 2.6.24-21-generic, if in my /etc/hosts, I put my computer name on 127.0.0.1 :

$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost rom-laptop
#127.0.1.1 rom-laptop

it resolves the problem.

It is unclear to me: is this issue fixed? Mihail, can you please test this on Ubuntu Jaunty?
Rom, if the solution is adding your host name in /etc/hosts, then the issue was different...
