[svlug] long time to power on

[Ajit Natarajan]

Hello,

I have a four year old PC running Kubuntu 8.04.  Lately, I find that it 
takes a very long time (hours) between when I power the machine on and 
when the first BIOS messages show up.  I have replaced the CMOS battery 
to no avail.  I had added a PCI audio card recently which I've also 
removed.  No difference.

Not sure what the problem is.  Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Ajit
