That was quick. hdx=noflush worked well. The patch delayed the disk access as you can see in [1]. After the IPI message the hd led enlightened and was active until "lost interrupt" message. The following boot process was verry slow. Basically everything what required disk access took a while and the hd-led was almost continuous on. I aborted the boot process via magic keys after about 15 minutes.
