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.
* Blacklist modules: when booting finished check out dmesg output
and if there any noteable error/warning messages and try to
blacklist probably involved modules booting using:
"grml blacklist=modulename[,module2]" - though I'm not sure
whether this really helps in your case as you already tried
the noudev bootoption.
The 3:30min are definitely too much and I'm interested in resolving
your issue.
