Hi there,

I am seeing a huge delay of 30 seconds (look like the board hangs) while booting 
right the lines

RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Freeing init memory: 76K
init started:  BusyBox v1.00 (2004.11.18-16:10+0000) multi-call binary

and when rebooting rigth after the lines

~ # reboot
The system is going down NOW !!
Sending SIGTERM to all processes.
Please stand by while rebooting the system.

Commenting out

   message(MAYBE_CONSOLE | LOG, "init started:  %s", bb_msg_full_version);

in init_main(int argc, char **argv) and

   message(CONSOLE | LOG, "Please stand by while rebooting the system...");

in reboot_signal(int sig) fixes the problem for me!

Does someone know what's going on here? I am using linux-2.6.10rc2 (on ARM9 
AT91RM9200) and busybox v1.00.

Thanks,

Steven
