The hwinfo manpage says nothing about running at boot, so I assume it has nothing to do with this. Something is running at boot that wasn't before, and is slowing down the boot process. Look at your dmesg output and your grub command line to see what it may be.
Did you really read my message? I didn't say that hwinfo was running at boot. I said that I ran hwinfo, and after than, the beginning booting has been slow. Also, I wrote: > GRUB takes about 8 seconds between displaying the the "Welcome to GRUB!" > text and the "error: fd0 read error." text... That's before the Linux kernel is even involved, so how would dmesg be related? In fact, that's before the contents of a GRUB command line have any effect, so that's not related either. Daniel
