[Grml] Booting 2008.11 takes 4 minutes!

I use grml 1.1 but wanted to test the new 2008.11 version. I noticed 2 very annoying features: When it reads "Searching for grml file, this might take a few seconds" in reality it takes 3:30 minutes before the program continues. But only to stop again at "Waiting for /dev to be fully populated" for about 30 seconds.

How can I avoid these stops in execution? I tried all the no....options (noautoconfig, nodhcp, noquick) but without any success. Any ideas?
