Hi, I've just started testing 2.6.26 on my desktop machine and have found that I get a long pause (20 seconds or so) as the system boots. By pause I mean that the boot messages that normally scroll by stop doing so for, as I say, about 20 seconds. I've done a bisect and arrived at: b0ed43360fdca227048d88a08290365cb681c1a8 is first bad commit commit b0ed43360fdca227048d88a08290365cb681c1a8 Author: Hannes Reinecke Date: Tue Mar 18 14:32:28 2008 +0100 [SCSI] add scsi_host and scsi_target to scsi_bus This patch implements scsi_host and scsi_target device types and adds both to the scsi_bus.

I've also noticed that it takes much longer for icons to appear on my desktop when I plug a usb storage device in. (The icons are shown/hidden by a simple sctript that is run via udev when the device is attached/detached.) Let me know of any way I can help solve this.
