Arch Linux

Description:
Since the upgrade to kernel 2.6.25.4 i've gotten a delay during the initramfs stage concerning ata2 where my Sony cdrw resides, see the dmesg attached. The fallback image gives the same as well.

I've also built a custom kernel with the arch patch applied with the same result.

After this (about 20 seconds or so) delay the system boots normally.

Additional info:

Package version: core/kernel26 2.6.25.4-1 (base)
System info: a7n8x-x motherboard with nforce2 chipset, Sony CD-RW CRX160E alone on the second ide cable.

Info from dmesg:
