Thanks for this! I am not a developer, so I am not familiar with all
of the little tweaks available in the kernel configs -- I've probably
seen this dozens of times, but ignored it because I wasn't debugging.
Now that I _am_ debugging, I wish I had paid more attention.
When I tried it, my kernel hung much earlier in the boot process. The
help text for CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY even mentions that this can be
a problems on SMP systems, and that is exactly what I have.
Bummer.
Thanks though,
Dave W.
