I guess this should be easy for others to reproduce. How long is the "long" delay? Please do this: add "log_buf_len=1M" to the kernel boot command line reboot dmesg -n 8 modprobe padlock_aes & sleep 1 echo t > /prog/sysrq-trigger dmesg -s 1000000 > foo and then send us `foo'. Pleas avoid wordwrapping it. This will permit us to see where `modprobe' is getting stuck.
