That was exactly the problem, I added the machines hostname and the DNS server 
addresses to /etc/resolve.conf and all is good now. It also solved another 
problem which was that I could only log in through ssh whilst in the network, 
I couldnt from outside even though the router redirects port 22.

Stalls during boot are often the result of DNS timeouts. Do you have a DNS
server defined in /etc/resolve.conf and if so is it accessible?

Bootup stalls on "Initial i386 initialization"

2004-03-31 Thread David Lodeiro
Hi

I have a server that stalls during bootup for about 5 minutes. It shows 

Starting sshd

and then stalls, If I press Ctrl C to cancel whatever it is that is stalling, 
it shows

^CInitial i386 initialization

and then continues to boot up.

I know it isnt sshd that is stalling because even after cancelling sshd is 
running. 
What is Initial i386 initialization? I have looked through rc.conf and there 
is nothing being started by that name.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

David
