I installed Debian 5.0 on a Dell Latitude CP 233MT. I've had this machine
for a long time, its run fine with 3.0 and 4.0 over the years. I'm having
one problem with it under 5.0. When it boots up, it loads modules then
when it's populating /dev there is a huge pause, I haven't timed it, but
at least a couple of minutes. Fire it up and then hit the bathroom or a go
get a glass of water type pause.
In the tasksel during the install, I picked just laptop and basic system,
I installed X later. The first time I rebooted, the pause was so long, and
the text output looked so odd, I thought it locked up. Has anyone had this
same experience on similar hardware? Does the slowdown seem normal on a
machine of this class or do you think anyhthing can be done to tweak it?

I'd say try a different, perhaps newer, kernel.
