The following reply was made to PR i386/144956; it has been noted by GNATS.

Titus also pointed out that the symptom affects amd64 as will as i386. Thanks Titus! From my perspective, this ticket may be closed. (I'm assuming that the observation I made of similar behavior occasionally happening with VMware is not related). -- Charles Owens Great Bay Software, Inc. --------------040705040106070806060608 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-WatchGuard-AntiVirus: part scanned. clean action=allow <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> </head> <body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> The following suggestion was graciously provided by Titus Manea (titus at buko dot edc dot ro):<br> <br> <blockquote> <pre wrap="">Hi, If you didn't solved the delay yet just add hint.atkbdc.0.disabled="1" hint.atkbd.0.disabled="1" in /boot/device.hints i traced the problem to console init and since these boards do not have ps/2 ports it probably takes the kernel some time to figure this out </pre> </blockquote> <br> This is the answer!
