</div>Your average Intel, qemu, or fast ARM test hardware can easily settle<br>
in under three seconds. The problem is when you have either slow<br>
hardware, or hardware with lots of storage devices to enumerate.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Radu, please drop it or set it for 20s or so. I am against the timeout as a whole as in case this causes a boot fail it will be quite difficult to average user to come up to realize the cause of the problem so my opinion would be to drop it completely.</div>
