</div>On a similar note, I noticed the progress bar finishes long before the<br>
boot process (I think somewhere around the time services start to<br>
start). This isn't an expected behaviour from user point of view.<br>
Actually it is pretty weird... I've installed readahead (not sure though<br>
if it is enabled, or how to enable it if not) and disabled some unneeded<br>
services which resulted in the progress bar showing up incomplete for<br>
about only a third of the boot process (and completing really fast).<br>
When I look at the real progress after the progress bar is already<br>
finished, I see services starting.<br>
