Binary package hint: ureadahead
I upgraded to 10.04 beta from 9.10 as soon as i could using "update-manager -d". the install went fine, rebooted remarkably fast, and ran beautifully. I restarted my system after applying updates, loaded into plymouth, at which point the boot hung with all the little lights on under the plymouth emblem red and not cycling. my hdd access light was on, so i figured i'd restart once the light went out. 20 mins later, the system actually loaded. I didn't like the 20 boot time, and figured it may have been an error in the update, so i downloaded the live cd. again, loaded beautifully, installed fine, restarted quickly, installed updates, rebooted again and again the system hung at plymouth. the drive seems to make a *CLICK,click* sound. I was not having any luck finding anybody else on the forums with these same or similar symptoms, so i assumed maybe it was the cd, so i downloaded the alt install cd with the same exact effect. I have tried loading grub2 without the "quiet" and "splash" options, with the same basic results (hang after text boot, no splash). Funny thing is, no matter how long the boot actually takes, the bootchart shows under 400 secs.
Ubuntu lucid (development branch) 10.04 beta1
ureadahead ver. 0.100.0-4.1
kernel 2.6.32-18.27
here are links to the boot charts from the ureadahead test suggested by keybuk in the "all about ureadahead" sticky;
