Are you able to work out which the last kernel > release without this timeout was? The delay exists since 2.6.27, versions before them I can't test due to udev-149 which don't work together with version < 2.6.27. Since version 2.6.29 that kernel boot parameter avoids the extra delay, 2.6.28 needs the 9 sec pause independend from what I specify during boot. -- MfG/Kind regards Toralf Förster pgp finger print: 7B1A 07F4 EC82 0F90 D4C2 8936 872A E508 7DB6 9DA3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
