Since some kernel version (IIRC since 2.6.31) it is necessary to boot the
linux kernel with that option to prevent an extra 9 seconds delay during
reboot.
I found this tip on the LKML -and now I'm wondering whether this option should
be hard coded in the kernel sources b/c it seems to be necessary for current
kernels too.

The delay exists since 2.6.27, versions before them I can't test due to
udev-149 which don't work together with version < 2.6.27.

Since version 2.6.29 that kernel boot parameter avoids the extra delay, 2.6.28
needs the 9 sec pause independend from what I specify during boot.
