Then please verify the remedy. I assume you have an USB stick which
already booted at least once an Ubuntu ISO (with much delay).
In this case do:

  # Take care not to name any of your valuable disks as USB_STICK
  USB_STICK=/dev/sdX
  sudo dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=16 of="$USB_STICK" conv=notrunc seek=462

If you have no such USB stick with casper-made persistent partition at
hand, then put an Ubuntu ISO onto some USB stick and apply above remedy
before booting it the first time.
Booting should be swift (relatively), but then the USB stick will need the
remedy once again. (This second dd run is what i want to avoid by this bug
report.)

Have a nice day :)
