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. --- mike t. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
