Subject: 2,6.26-rc4-git2 - long pause during boot

Hi,

I've just started testing 2.6.26 on my desktop machine and have found that I get 
a long pause (20 seconds or so) as the system boots. By pause I mean that the 
boot messages that normally scroll by stop doing so for, as I say, about 20 
seconds.

I've done a bisect and arrived at:

b0ed43360fdca227048d88a08290365cb681c1a8 is first bad commit
commit b0ed43360fdca227048d88a08290365cb681c1a8

    [SCSI] add scsi_host and scsi_target to scsi_bus

    This patch implements scsi_host and scsi_target device types
    and adds both to the scsi_bus.

The config file for that kernel is attached as are the kernel log for booting 
that kernel and the bisect log.

I've also noticed that it takes much longer for icons to appear on my desktop 
when I plug a usb storage device in. (The icons are shown/hidden by a simple 
sctript that is run via udev when the device is attached/detached.)

Let me know of any way I can help solve this.

Please cc me to any reply as I'm not subscribed.
