I run 3.4-STABLE and had a long pause detecting the second drive on my second IDE controller. Since that device doesn't exist, I removed it from my kernel and now it doesn't pause looking for it. My theory is to remove anything from the kernel that it is not likely to find on my system, which rarely changes.
