Sometimes the boot up is hanging at "Setting the system clock"

I have to power off the PC and power on again. After several retries it does then work to boot up. Anyone know why it hangs there? I didn't have that with ubuntu hardy so far.

Just came around this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/263928

Seems to be what I do experience

Yeah, this is an on-going problem. Try holding a key down during the boot sequence. It works for me.

lol why did that work? I noticed it didn't do this when i first installed the Intrepid beta. As soon as i ran update-manager and rebooted it started this. It doesn't seem to be kernel related, as i can still select the old kernel and it still hangs. holding a key works :lol:
