When my SuSE 8.1 box boots, It gets to "starting hardware scan on boot" and it takes a very long time to slog through this (several minutes)
Dear Mr Alfrey,
My box running SuSE 8.0 behaves exactly the same BUT, if I un-plug USB cable from usb socket in my ISDN Modem, then, booting loads perfectly.
Frankly, I suspected that such a thing might be the culprit, but I see that usb hotplug services load OK in the boot messages. But that may be different than a subsequent device scan. However, Bruce's suggestion about using the runlevel editor to just throw out anything that I really don't use has been a big help in speeding things up and making boot-up foolproof.
