Usually this kind of behaviour indicates that something is being started and it is trying to do a DNS lookup but can't, and so it waits until the DNS lookup request times out. You should be able to find out what the culprit is by observing what is the next thing printed immediately *after* this long pause. Very often it turns out to be Sendmail trying to find a reverse record (match the host's IP to a DNS name). -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * If it wasn't for C, we'd be using BASI, PASAL and OBOL! ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Boot process too slow or stops
Hello list !! I have a strange problem... from time in time at boot time, when it reaches this: Configuring syscons: blanktime screensaver. the boot process stops for a very (VERY) long time and sometimes gets stalled there... I can interrupt the process with Ctrl-C and boot continues but it is not a normal way to do things... Why could this happen and how can I fix it? it does not occur always, but frequently...
