For this you could start by disabling the parallel booting feature and check if you get any gain: 2.1.4. Dependency booting http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-whats-new.en.html#dependency-boot If you still experience a slow booting, review your logs to find out the culprit. > 3) I have nVidia Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600 GT] display card.

As you are upgrading from an older versión you will have to deal with this manually and apply high doses of patience :-) What I would do? First, decide what driver to use becasue squeeze integrates KMS and nouveau support out-of-the-box. But if you prefer to keep the closed nvidia driveers you will also have to decide what set to install: the ones from Debian non-free repo or those provided by nvidia. In either case, I would first completely uninstall any nvidia driver, package or kernel module that was installed before and then boot with the VESA, FB or nouveau driver. After that, proceed with the installation of the selected VGA driver packages. > I do not know what is wrong, but found others with similar problem and > Debian bug report about this issue.

I couldn't get 3d acceleration to work with nouveau, but it works fine with the nvidia packages from the Debian repos. You may have to do some research to make sure that you get a driver version that will work with your card. I haven't checked out the DKMS changes yet, still using a stupid little script to run module-assistant to build the nvidia module when I update the kernel. I wish I had an answer for you on the start up dependencies. When I did a few Lenny to Squeeze updates, I had to run apt-get a few times to clear up error messages related to dependency loops, but nothing that caused time outs like you are experiencing.

Squeeze boot takes 9 minutes; no sound and no 3D acceleration
Yesterday I updated Lenny to Squeeze. Lenny was working very well, but now I have a few problems: 1) Booting takes 9 minutes to login screen. This seems to be because NIS, freshclam, MTA exim4 start before networking is up and thus take 1 or 2 minutes to timeout. Also hald took a minute to start, I do not know why. I already added networking to nis Required-Start: line, but that does not seem to help. 2) sound no longer works. I have Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 08), which seems to need firmware loaded. I tried installing ld10k1, remains to check if that helped. During installation I got a popup screen about missing firmwares, but that screen was not at all helpful in figuring out where to get those firmwares. The popup contained this: snd_emu10k1: emu/emu1010_notebook.fw, emu/emu0404.fw, emu/micro_dock.fw, │ │ emu/emu1010b.fw, emu/audio_dock.fw, emu/hana.fw │ │ r8169: rtl_nic/rtl8168d-2.fw, rtl_nic/rtl8168d-1.fw I do not understand the above at all. 3) I have nVidia Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600 GT] display card. Now 3D acceleration no longer works, I managed to fix the wrong symlinks probably caused by manually installed NVidia drivers 3 years ago. Now I use Debian packages, but programs that try to use libGL do not work: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1: undefined symbol: _nv47gl I do not know what is wrong, but found others with similar problem and Debian bug report about this issue. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
