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.
1. you have too many services that run on start up
2. dhcp client is installed by default
3. ntp server
4. defective hard drives
5. defective RAM
6. devices/modules
solution:
1. run only the services that you need
2. disable dchp client
3. disable ntp server
4. disable modules that you don't need
5. do a memory test
