           Summary: Kernel stops loading until any key is pressed
           Product: Other
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: 2.6.28-9-default
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: other_other at kernel-bugs.osdl.org
        ReportedBy: seifert at alesak.net


Latest working kernel version: don't know
Earliest failing kernel version: don't know but tried 2.6.27.8-6 with same
problem
Distribution: openSuse 11.1
Hardware Environment: laptop HP 8730w
Software Environment:
Problem Description:
Every time I boot, system stops in different stage and wait until I press any
key or touch mouse or touch-pad, some times helps only if I press HP specific
keys like "HP Info" or "Presentation key". System stops many number of times
which is always different as a place where it stops. I think it is specific
problem for some HP laptops. I found very similar problem with Fedora 8
reported September 2007: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=277961

Today replaced openSuse kernel with mainline kernel with same result.
It is very annoying as I have to boot with pressing keyboard.
There is not any errors in boot logs.
Steps to reproduce: just install Linux on this laptop
