Folks,
        I'm running systemimager 4.0.2 on an x86 (32bit) platform.  I have  
rolled my own kernel (we have several devices that require specific  
modules - and I want to query them during the imaging sequence), and  
it's 2.6.28 non-smp.  These systems are all PXE booting/netboot and  
using rsync to obtain images.

        I see a couple significant (1 minute or so) delays during boot - and  
I wanted to see if someone could help identify the causes (or point me  
in the right direction to troubleshoot the causes!).

First Delay:
        - during boot immediately after:  "isapnp" loads.  Take a look at the  
boot time output below:
        
                12.479168] io scheduler deadline registered (default)
                [ 17.990982] pci 0000:00:0a.1: EHCI: BIOS handoff failed (BIOS 
bug?)  
01010001
                [ 17.992159] isapnp: ISA Plug & Play support disabled
                [ 124.160006] Serial: 8250/16550 driver2 ports, IRQ sharing 
enabled
                [ 124.329010] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 
16550A
                [ 124.563013] serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 
16550A

        My first inclination is that it's actually the serial probe that's  
taking forever.  I do not see this delay with my own kernel and my own  
image - just with systemimager booting.
