Can you refresh my memory on the Linux rev (Slackware 2.4.26?) and Zaptel driver version? I am currently running Slackware 10.0 (2.4.26) with Asterisk 1.0.7 and zaptel 1.0.7. I am seeing boot times of well under 1 minute.

Also, where exactly are you seeing the "delay" during the boot process. You noted the point where you were at 5-15 minutes, but wasn't sure where it started to get slow. Is it quickly getting to the zaptel driver and then slowing down or is it slow prior to that? I would focus on potential IRQ conflicts (cat /proc/interrupts) or the kernel probing for non-existent devices.

Details on exactly where the slowing begins would be a start.

Derrick,

Thanks for the ideas.  I have since removed any USB/Firewire/un-needed
hardware from loading in the MOBO BIOS and recompiled the kernel to boot.
However I still seem to have the same problem.

Here is some more information.

I would agree that something maybe auto-detecting on startup, but not sure
what it could be.

Are you viewing the output to the console as you are booting the system? I suspect that it has nothing to do with the Digium drivers and more to do with other features of Slackware such as attempting to autodetect USB or 1394 devices. If you don't have any of them you can turn off the probing in your kernel.
