I know perfectly well where it came from but these days not many of those slow disks are still around. It really annoys the hell out of me waiting the 15 seconds for nothing each time I boot the GENERIC kernel for testing. Sure I can change that in the kernel config but then it's modified. Any why take 15 seconds of everyone if only a very few actually need it (those with stone-age disk drives)? -- Andre
