Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.38-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

there are several problems with this linux-image, either the configuration or
patches as a self-compile 2.6.38-rc7 does not suffer from those problems.
The boot process (until login on vt1 is possible) take >6 minutes with the
Debian kernel while the self-compiled (although almost everything that's
needed is compiled-in) kernel takes far less than 1 minute (never measured
this).

If you more information than below, just tell me.

Regards,

Hendrik Sattler

This seems to be the fault of the tpm_tis driver.

I think I will disable auto-loading of this driver, as it can take
a very long time to (fail to) initialise on some systems while very
few users will actually need it.

Ben.

Especially since tpm_infineon.ko loads just fine. In this case, disabling
loading for PNP-ID IFX0102 (and possibly any other that is already covered by
other drivers) is sufficient. After all, one of those devices (the one of the
author of the driver) possibly works fine with that driver.
