I found through the ps -aux command, there was what looked like a konq process hung. There were several other processes for user that should not have been running, probably from when I removed the display, keyboard, and mouse last week. I rebooted to clear out all the extraneous processes and that fixed it. The machine has no other operating systems on it and was not trying to mount any foreign file systems. Hung processes for a non existent user should not have caused the problem you described. I've seen many cases where a hung process (especially a KDE component) would cause everything in the system to appear to be slow. But, it is possible that when you removed the display et. al, that something was amiss. Glad you solved the problem. -- Jerry Feldman
