Linux kernel 3.0.0-14 slow to boot

Booting with kernel 3.0.0-14, my Lenovo T410i laptop gets stuck for about a minute during boot. From dmesg output:

    ...

Kernel 3.0.0-13 doesn't show such pause during the boot process.

Hopefully ubuntu-bug has attached more detailed informations to the bug (hardware configuration, full dmesg output etc)...
