It takes about 10 minutes to see the Grub loader with Ubuntu 14.04. Once the Grub loader shows up, it loads up with normal speed.
Also, the keyboard and touchpad on the laptop has stopped working (USB mouse and keyboard work though) at the same time when this started happening. This issue started coming up after the laptop had been put on suspend and it had hung up on resume and then was powered off through the power button.
Haven't seen anyone facing this particular combination of problems but tried different fixes individually like doing Grub repair and updating xserver input but without any effect.
The laptop's still fully functional with external keyboard and mouse but I do not want to wait 10 minutes to startup and then carry around the extra keyboard. Any help on this would be appreciated!
@heynnema, these are the results
