Hello,
This weekend I got some time and decided to try out 2.6.25, but its booting process was _really_ slow in my laptop[1]. With 'old' 2.6.24.5 my machine would take about 48 secs until it gave me the login prompt. And it would take about 22 seconds to reboot.

With 2.6.25 I got from Linus git tree, my system takes about 4 min and 40 secs to boot. Sometimes looks like the system just freezes for a while, and then it continues the boot process. Rebooting also seems problematic here. After almost 3 minutes I had asked the system to reboot, it was still there. I typed reboot again and it then rebooted right away, weirdly.

Follows attached dmesg/config for both kernels.
Thanks,
-sergio
