I track a similar problem to this caused by my smart media card reader was set to auto mount in the fstab. Things would boot fine when a card was in the reader, but it would hang for a long time when the reader was empty. I assume it was timing out on the mount. Changing it to noauto, though solved my problem. I don't know if it is related to this or not, though.

It depends on a lot of things such as what exact order things are being done in. Likely it is easy to fix also. Probably just an 'echo' command tacked on to the end of the script or perhaps just echoing an ANSI sequence or something. Also those who boot into runlevel 5 (GUI mode) by default will never really see it. Felix Miata wrote: > Does everyone have this problem?
