Description ainsley 2013-02-15 06:38:13 UTC
Issue is with Kernel 3.70 and 3.75 but not 3.5.4 or earlier, if I start
the same system with kernel 3.5.4 the problem does not occur.


When booting there is a long delay (15 minutes aproximately) and the following is reported repeatedly:

Comment 1 Anthony Basile gentoo-dev 2014-10-19 16:33:29 UTC
sorry i'm coming to this very late.  is this still an issue?
Comment 2 ainsley 2014-10-19 16:59:03 UTC
Yes, I have tried several kernels since this and the same thing happens.
Comment 3 ainsley 2014-10-19 17:03:09 UTC
I have tried this up to Kernel 3.13.2-hardened-r3

I have not upgraded beyond version 3.5.4-hardened-r1 on two modules as these are production servers and I can't afford 15 minute reboots.
