System boots up ..

[aromes]

Hi,
When my linux 5.0, kernel 2.0.32 boots up..everything goes right till it
says it starts amd, then it waits 3 mins ..then my system continues to boot
normally.
When I shutdown my system, I see: 
kill amd..
kill innd ..no such pID.

What is that amd??? Any idea why it stands at amd for so long time???
