I had a problem like that because a module (bttv) had the wrong options, and there was a 5 minute timeout on the module loading, ie it would "hang" for 5 minutes and then timeout. v annoying. I found this by manually parsing [1] the logs and finding a big gap of 5 minutes. Now I've given it different options it only takes a minute (still not quite got it right I think).
so, take a look at /var/log/messages at the time of the last reboot and see if you can find anything taking a long time to start. [1] manually parsing = looking at :-) On Sun, 23 Mar 2003 09:22:07 +1200 Daniel Fone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi guys, > > I am running Mandrake 9.0 on a 300MHz machine with 128Meg RAM.
