Baris,
Are you using any Desktop (such as KDE)? Is it the boot up process which is 
taking long or is it the login process (after boot up, till your desktop come 
up, if you are using any desktop at all) which is long?

If it is the latter,  then try to login to something light-weight  like twm or 
fvwm to see if it is the KDE stuff that are slowing down or something else. 
If it is boot up, then look at the boot log to see if during the boot up 
there is any device  which is taking too long to respond. 

We need more info to be able to make a hopefully useful suggestion :-)
Ali.
