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.
