Just Recently my
redhat machine hangs for several minutes at two points in the startup
procedure.
The first point is
when it tries to start the system logger.
After a couple of
minutes it starts that and continues on until it hangs again starting
sendmail.
When that is finally
started I log on and check the processes and nothing is chewing up all the cpu.
I can run some
things with no problems (eg. starting a ppp session). When I try to run x
windows, It just doesn't start up.
I've checked the
system log and the only problems when starting up are configuration issues with
the named service. However, I look back and that has been happening for quite
some time without problems.
The last thing I was
working on before I had this problem was changing configuration files to ensure
that my ethernet interface was started when loading the system and I changed my
default route to be through my ethernet interface, as I am experimenting with IP
Masquerading on another box. However, I vaguely remembering the machine
rebooting properly after those changes.
I am running Redhat
6.5 (I think) Anyway, the last major release before version
7.
Please excuse my
ignorance, I am relatively new to Redhat.
