Latest working kernel version: 2.6.23 Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.24 Distribution: Debian Testing Hardware Environment: Acer Aspire 5710Z (Laptop) Software Environment: The bug first happened with the Debian kernel 2.6.24, but I'm able to reproduce with a customly compiled vanilla 2.6.26-rc2 from git. The Debian bug report is at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=479381 and I was recommended to forward it here. Here is the full report again: Since version 2.6.24 booting the Debian kernel is quite slow because it pauses for about 30 seconds. It always happens after those lines in the booting process: [ 9.990058] iTCO_wdt: Found a ICH7-M TCO device (Version=2, TCOBASE=0x1060) [ 9.990091] iTCO_wdt: initialized. heartbeat=30 sec (nowayout=0) Since the interval is "heartbeat=30 sec" and also the pause is always about 30 seconds long, there might be a connection. The problem happens on an Acer Aspire 5710Z laptop.

Created attachment 16167 [details] My kernel configuration file for 2.6.26-rc2
Maybe. Please add initcall_debug to your kernel boot command line and check that the pause is really occurring in iTCO_wdt_init_module, thanks.
Same laptop (only wifi different Atheros AR5007EG instead of Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan), same problem. Tried all version from 2.6.25 on, til 2.6.28-rc2 and boot takes too long. Tried also compiling all module inside kernel, with no difference in boot time. Udev takes almost 30 seconds loading all modules.

I solved the problem. It was due to udev and something related to libccid. I had on my sytem a rules file for udev called /etc/udev/rules.d/z60_libccid.rules. Udev was trying to use always this rule for my input devices, taking a lot of time waiting for a 'bInterfaceProtocol' that at the end timed out. Sorry for the noise!
I seem to have the same issue on a thinkpad t60p the solution is to remove that rule file above?
I resolved my issue by commenting out the eth1 line in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules removed 30 seconds of boot time.
