Dunno whether this is the correct prescription for what is happening,
but methinks you are running unnecessary daemons. If you are running
X, then fire up DrakConf and goto Startup Services. Stop all the
unnecessary services. for example, I run only the following, the rest
have been put to sleep.
The startup daemons:
crond - for scheduling
dhcpd - host control
gpm - coz I usually work without X
keytable - a must daemon
network - another must
numlock - optional, though helpful
random - necessary
sendmail - MTa, you might be using postfix, smail, exim, etc.
syslog - preferred
xfs - needed by X
Just do this, and remove the others. Then boot up again and see if
the problem persists. If yes, then send a transcript of
tail /var/log/messages. Maybe, someone will decrypt it;]
