I think adding a boot option for setting another timeout value (e.g. 0) would do the job without compromising the default case.I don't think I agree - the solution to this is to eliminate the reason leading to the warning. The delay is intentionally this way to annoy the admin and force them to take measures.
OTOH there are some warnings which can't be dealt with via boot parameters or which can be solved by other means, e.g.: "WARNING: SILO mode is not enabled.\n" "It has implications on the security of the system,\n" "unless the communications have been forbidden between\n" "untrusted domains.\n" "WARNING: HMP COMPUTING HAS BEEN ENABLED.\n" "It has implications on the security and stability of the system,\n" "unless the cpu affinity of all domains is specified.\n" Juergen
