That's the hardware taking so long, all that function does is make some PCI calls to the device. If the driver is built as a module, there should not be any "hot path" here as the module is loaded async when the device is discovered, right? What is waiting for this module to load in order to cause your init to stall? Perhaps fix your initramfs logic or build the driver into the kernel itself to take it off of this "load all the modules and wait" path? thanks, greg k-h
