Comment 8 for bug 545766

No, this problem doesn't seem to exist anymore. I think the work around was also to disable the floppy drive in the BIOS which helped too.

I am not using the same machine regularly now, after buying a new one a few months ago.

Cheers,

LP

> When I boot up Lucid Lynx Beta 1, I get a brief FSCK notice (a couple of seconds) then the them music plays within 15 seconds with just the purple themed background. Suddenly after 25 seconds all of the menus appear and all seems well. My motherboard is a Gigabyte 945GZM-S2 (rev 3.9) with onboard graphics that works perfectly with Karmic.
