First of all, i hope this hasn't been discussed before. At least, i didn't find it.
I've experimented VERY slow grub load times when i shutdown wrong my pc. I think this may be normal, but i'm experimenting those slow bootups also when hibernating my machine, something like 50% times. I'm suspending it with s2disk script.
I really will appreciate some help with this.

I'm sorry I can't provide a solution to your problem but I experience exactly the same issue on suspend2disk! I'm on a thinkpad T43 and the timeout for loading grub is sometimes about 10-15s and again 5-10s until it starts loading the chosen OS...
Haven't been here in a while. Still rocking Arch.

I don't have that slow times, but compared to most of my friend's load time, my grub takes around 3/4 secs to show the menu, while my friend's pcs just take around 1 sec.
I didn't care much about it when I was on Ubuntu, but on arch those 4secs seem to last forever LoL

It some times helps if you turn boot up floppy seek on in BIOS. I don't know why..

Turn ON? How weird... well, i'll try and tell.
Anyway, i thing i'm gonna use lilo if grub keeps giving me headache.

It should not have anything to do with that because many computers nowadays don't even have floppy drives.
My laptop for instance.... doesn't even has a floppy seek option on BIOS.

I also don't even have floppy, but grub ads it in device.map.. Like I said it might help but it might not. When I disable boot up floppy seek in BIOS, grub loads slowly and I don't know why.

Well, i'm using lilo right now (since 3 days) and boots fine and fast no matter what i did last time.

I think I'll try that too, I only have Arch, and on a 30/40 secs boot it's lame to waste 3/4secs with "loading grub" and a blinking cursor
