Some further tips:
- If you know the device name where grml is booting from try booting via: "grml bootfrom=/dev/sda1" (assuming the /dev/sda1 is your CD/DVD device booting grml). Does this improve your bootup time? If so we could spot the device which takes just to long for scanning.
After the usual 3:30 delay it read "mounted live system on /dev/scd0" so I tried (as you suggested) grml bootfrom=/dev/scd0 but this did not help, sorry.
- Blacklist modules: when booting finished check out dmesg output and if there any noteable error/warning messages
There are several error messages like this: a) many lines saying sr 6:0:1:0: [sr0] Sense Key: Medium Error [current] sr 6:0:1:0: [sr0] Add. Sense: L-EC uncorrectable error
b) many lines like this Buffer I/O error on device sr0 end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 1380478
c) ck804xrom ck804xrom_init_one(): Unable to register resource 0x00000000ff000000-0x00000000ffffffff - kernel bug?
d) an endless flow of lines like CFI: Found no ck804xrom@ ff.......... at location zero JEDEC: Found no .....
Maybe this gives you a hint. BTW I run Lenny, Sid and Fedora 10 on my system without any problems.
