I have been facing a very long time time to boot into my system which runs on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
I have followed this thread "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootPartition" and using gparted created a gb partition and did a "boot-repair" ( log after this step: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1549333/
But when I restart it is again taking a very long time (about 20mins) to get to welcome screen & boot-repair again shows the same message: "The boot files of [The OS now in use - Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS] are far from the start of the disk. Your BIOS may not detect them. You may want to retry after creating a /boot partition (EXT4, >200MB, start of the disk). This can be performed via tools such as gParted"
any help is more than welcome, as I'm in a middle of a big academic project and loading new os again is not an option.
