Ever since I did an in-place upgrade to OpenSUSE 11.3 I've been having problems with very (more than 5 minutes) boot times. It only seems to happen about 1 out of every 3 times but never the less it's very annoying. By putting top into vty9 at boot time I was able to figure out that preload is what is causing this delay. Disk is grinding away and everything is halted waiting for i/o. Something changed drastically with preload in 11.3 and I now need to either fix it or remove it. Preload no longer has a /etc/preload.d directory and I can't find any documentation on how the new version of preload works under 11.3. Can anyone point me in the right direction? -- John Lange www.johnlange.ca -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
