[Watford] Suse 10.3 hangs for 2 minutes at start of boot sequence.

[Neel Upadhyaya]

It looks like a kernel patch which means you'd have to apply it to the
kernel source.

It might be worth hunting around to find out is the patch has been included
in any kernel versions, then you could find a package for that kernel or
start from the already patched source.

Have a quick hunt for a package first, and if you're unlucky then I could
walk you through a kernel compilation.
