Note that on my Thinkpad R52 Laptop F11 started doing this after
a udev RPM update. It turned out to be the fact that there was no
floppy drive in my system but the BIOS was configured with one
enabled. I suspect this is default in some laptops so that
docking stations etc work ??
I think this bug is in Bugzilla, but I suspect it has not
been fixed ...
That one's known, but is different from what the OP was seeing. With the
floppy-enabled thing, the system pauses entirely for pretty much exactly
a minute. The OP's case is different as bootchart shows.
