Bug Description
When I switch on my PC I have to look at the "Intel Pentium 4" logo for about 3 minutes before anything happens.
I can not even enter the BIOS setup.
When I keep the "DEL" button pressed I enter the BIOS setup after the mentioned 3 minutes.
Of course when I do not keep the "DEL" button pressed I enter the boot menu after the 3 minutes.
I have a dual boot menu with Windows XP.
After I have chosen Ubuntu everything is working fine.
What can I do to remove this wait time ?
This is very bad for the acceptance of Ubuntu in my family !

Hi Frank,
This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http:// cdimage. ubuntu. com/releases/ .
If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications- >Accessories- >Terminal) . It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.
apport-collect -p linux 493950
Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs- upstream- testing' text. Please let us know your results.
Thanks in advance.
