[gentoo-user] Local Start-Up Slow

[John Lowell]

Hopefully, someone can explain to me what might account for an inordinantly slow transistion in the boot sequence between "Starting local" and the login prompt. A very recent install takes about fifteen seconds or more to make this transistion whereas all previous installations involved no meaningful delay at all. Is something being sought out at this point in the process that is new or different? Beats me and I can't find anything on the forums to help.   jlowell
