Hello Michael,
Can't say this can really help, but most of the times I experience long
boot times is due to the box sending out dhcp requests and not getting
any response in return.
...or somebody maybe did "touch /forcefsck" and changed the file to
read-only....and your boot up process hides the fsck process with a gui
(okay, just thought of that wild scenario up). :)

Hi,
I'm experiencing a wierd experience with Ubuntu: I
reinstalled Ubuntu 5.10 in one of my boxes here at
work (P4+1GB RAM), and from the installation (iterated
several times) up to it's present state, booting is
abnormally ssslllloooowwww, whether I'm booting from
an install CD or from the hard disk. Presently, it
takes several minutes to go from booting to the GDM
login screen. I haven't encountered this before.
Just loading the kernel and initrd images takes more
than a minute.
The only difference I can account for is that before I
disabled all unnecessary BIOS settings (like the USB
controller, floppy drives, power management, etc) as
it was acting as a server. And before reinstalling, I
reset the BIOS to its factory default.
Anybody had a similar experience?
TIA.
