On rebooting my 2 Linux boxes I get hangs on each of them.
My girlfriends box, which I am in the process of converting from Windows
98, hangs at "Starting Random Number Generator". And my box, from which
I just pulled my modem card to install in hers, hangs at "Starting
System Log". I have to do a hard boot on hers. Mine just continues after
a few minutes.
I have heard of the system log, and I think it has something to do with
the contents of inittab??? Is it the instructions for booting the
system???
But the Random Number Generator???? Could someone explain it's use???
Where would Random Numbers be used (maybe PID's)??
TIA,
John
