What options did I use to make the kernel boot slowly?

Question

linux

I work on gentoo, using my own built kernel. On kernel 3.0.6 everything was more or less ok ( config and dmesg ). As soon as I switched to 3.3.8, there were 2 delays when loading the kernel each for 5 seconds ( config and dmesg ):
it was
[ 0.172049] SCSI subsystem initialized
[ 0.172080] libata version 3.00 loaded.
