So this is on a totally clean install of the newest version of Slackware? That's a major bug. Seems like someone else would have noticed this. Is there a slightly newer version where this might be fixed?
Bill, I think the boot process for the 5.15.19 kernel is why it hangs at ntpd. Just now I walked away and started cooking lunch and it eventually completed booting. This pause is new; I acknowledge that it's probably due to the newer kernal and no longer an issue.
This needs more explanation. When is it returning to the login prompt? After you have successfully logged in? Or are you not getting logged in at all?
Well, it was when I tried logging in as a user; root had no issues. Just now there was no problem. Over the weekend I'll keep testing; it may well be something that has decided to go away. More details when I have some. Thanks again, Rich
