Have a machine that once we upgraded to 6 Stable the machine would freeze at
the bootup menu.
We tried disabling ACPI and AIPC and it did not help. Usually the freezing occurs
after 2 or 3 seconds out of the 10 second countdown.
To make it more interesting... if we press enter right after the
step which may lessen the
bottleneck and is more scalable, but is not a distributed
approach. IMHO it is best to try to use schemes which distribute
the load/tasks as much as possible.
