hi folks, I have been living with a little irritation for some time now, and it finally dawned on me to ask someone about it. duh.
Since upgrading my machines to the suse 9.2 professional boxed set, all of the machines began taking 5 minutes to boot-up... hanging around for a very long time "creating devices" and "setting up kernel module dependencies (if required)".
What is the system waiting for? What is the trick to get the boot-up process to fly by like before?
Not sure if there's a simularity here, but on my 9.2 box all of the filesystems were checked at each boot. I turned that off by inserting in /etc/sysconfig/boot: FASTBOOT="yes" RUN_PARALLELE="yes" USE_MAKE="yes" After that the box boot{ed,s} as fast as the previous 9.1 version. Theo -- Theo v.
