Subject: Bootup time regression from 2.6.27 to 2.6.28-rc3+

Hello Rafael,

not sure whether this is already reported or not. However, in 2.6.28-rc3
I discovered about 10 secs delay before mounting the root fs and running init
(not sure whether the delay is caused by mount or init). It did not appear in
2.6.27. I did not try any previous 2.6.28-rcX.

This is from dmesg in 2.6.28-rc3.
