Bug Description
After successful installation of hoary, and no problems with livecd, there is a
problem with booting installed system. After selecting hoary 2.6.10-5-k7 in
grub's menu it reports that kernel and initrd is found, also show s lines
'savedefaults' and 'boot' and hangs. Nothing is happening for over 2 minutes and
after that system normally boots with any errors. Livecd doesn't have this problem.
I tried 2.6.10 and 2.6.11 kernels from hoary repository, both k7 and 386
versions. No difference.
System specs:
AthlonXP 2500+, 1GB DDR400
GigaByte GA-7VAXP Ultra (KT400)
Radeon 9600Pro
Hoary is installed on second harddrive plugged into additional on-board Promise
PDC20276 controller. And is respectively /dev/hde2 and (hd1,1) in linux/grub.
Problem doesn't exist when booting with lilo.
