Without this CONFIG_BOOTDELAY, autobooting does not work at all. As autoboot_command() from common/* will not get called. So lets define CONFIG_BOOTDELAY, so that auto-booting works on x86.

I think the right direction (and I haven't had time myself) is to make x86 use the generic distro framework. Dennis Gilmore pointed out a while ago Fedora at least can be easily made to generate the extlinux file on x86 even so it'll just work there :)
Yes, this is definitely the "right direction". Unfortunately I'm a bit limited with the time I could spend on this. And frankly, I have not much experience with the generic distro framework. So I would like to postpone this distro rework for a bit now. And since x86 does not support auto-booting at all without CONFIG_BOOTDELAY, I think it makes sense to apply this patch now. And add the distro stuff a bit later.
Thanks, Stefan
