2.6.27 VERY slow init

Now that I've seen that, definitely do what paapaa said. Then perhaps you might want to turn off Power Management Debug Support under Power management options in your kernel so you will have something else in your /var/log/dmesg besides all that debugging crap.

Blessed be!

What CPU are you using? I have a .config that you could use with the 2.6.27 that is for an AMD64 cpu what will boot any AMD64 computer, and I didn't experience a slow init.

Sorry for the big bump, but just an update: I've taken this issue to the bugmountain:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244292

...and onward to the kernel bugzilla...

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12269

...and as you'll see, the process seems to have ground to a halt. The kernel buggers have gone very quiet, no longer responding to my pleas for further debugging advice, and the Gentoo team (rightly, I guess) want no more to do with it.

All of which seems to leave me out of options and very frustrated. I've fairly adequate free time now that I could debug the life out of this, if I knew where to start.

Please, if anyone can add any suggestions about how I can make headway with this, I'd be eternally grateful. Those newer kernels contain newer Intel graphics driver code that (rumour has it) might go some way to making my current desktop experience a bit less crap, not to mention plenty of other new hotness I'm fed up of being barred from. I'm game for anything you might suggest, however improbable!
