[Bug 48186] Booting is delayed by ~20 sec. when using 'quiet splash' arguments

[Stefan Güls]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: usplash

I'm running a nforce2-based system, Athlon XP, kernel 2.6.15-23-k7.

If using the default boot arguments 'quiet splash' the boot process hangs for approx. 20 sec. without obvious reason (like ntpdate or dhcp), usplash indicating 'mounting root fs'
(rootfs is a 5GB reiserfs, shouldn't take 20 secs. to mount)

Booting without 'quiet splash' for diagnostic purposes the machine went
up just fine, without this delay, no remarkable messages on screen.

I observed this happening the first time during testing with the
transition from 2.6.15-20-k7 to 2.6.15-21-k7. Trying a clean install
from a release-CD (Desktop) didn't help, so it's not upgrade related.

** Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
