Subject: One minute delay when booting 2.6.24.1


Hi all,

As the subject says I get ~1 minute delay when booting 2.6.24.1 pretty
reliably. It is possible it is not new to 2.6.24.1 but I can't tell due recent
hardware changes.

I don't know who in particular to CC about this so I'll just send it like this
in hope someone notices it. :)
