New results:Another thing: Recently, I'm frequently having freezes at startup,A depmod is run with a new kernel, not sure what else might be going on in
sometimes at the black screen before X comes up, sometimes at the blue
X startup screen before any windows appear. Mouse is frozen, no
reaction to any key presses (including screen brightness, which works
from very early on with the benh kernels). This is independent on which
kernel I use. I'm having the impression that it starts when switching
from one kernel to another, then comes again for the next few restarts,
and once a startup finished successfully, it doesn't return until I
switch kernels again - but I'm not completely sure about this. I
suppose it's one of the things that continue getting started in the
background while X comes up. Any ideas on what it could be, or how I
could narrow it down?
the background. You could try to boot into runlevel 3 and see if you can
see more of what's going on. (append "3" to your yaboot choice, ie:
2320-benh 3)
o It doesn't have anything to do with switching kernels, I have now seen it occur also when rebooting with the same kernel.
o Booting to runlevel 3 shows that it occurs at "Starting CUPS printing system:". As a workaround, I could deinstall CUPS, since I don't need printing support at the moment.
