Comment 127 for bug 290153

Has a cause been identified? I can certainly help with that part! Here's some more I dugg up (attached)

Bootcharts from my intrepid install directly before upgrading
And from the jaunty directly after upgrading (luckily, bootchart was alwyas installed on my system)

Lvm seems to be taking an awful long time *and* displaying the odd disk activity in bootchart that I described. I wouldn't know what lvm is doing in that time, and thus why it might longer than expected. I guess I will try to get rid of my snapshots - just to see whether that changes the pathological behaviour. I'll also be digging around for an older kernel/initrd that I might have on backup somewhere to see whether I can pry them apart to find relevant differences. Any pointers on how to do that are appreciated.
