I don't know if it exists, but I use an Intel SSD in the ultrabay of my
T400s and Ubuntu 10.04 boots very rapidly indeed. I've not timed it, but the
Linux part of the power on process seems well under 10 seconds, certainly.
It spends considerably more time initializing before it gets to grub. One
slight annoyance is that with a USB keyboard plugged into one of my USB
hubs, it triples the BIOS initialization period. I have no idea why. My old
Sony does not have that problem. I know this is not what you're after, but
to be honest for me the boot speed is not something I need to think about
now, which is wonderful.
