[expert] slow boot
I have a Toshiba laptop- Satellite 1750 .It uses a built in Crystal audio cs4281 which worked well under 8.2,now when i boot up it stalls for 2-5 minutes. the only error message I can find is: /var/log/kernel/warnings:Feb 11 00:19:49 mobile kernel: cs4281: Unable to locate any cs4281 device with valid IDs 0x1013-0x6005 at some later point the sound initializes properly and works.Can someone give me any hints on where to look to eliminate the delay. I have had this problem with the 2.4.19-16 ,and -24 kernels,both stock and locally compiled from Mandrake sources. Ray Warren Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

APMD? Advanced Power Managment Daemon. It's used for laptop batteries - you can disable it if you into DrakConf from your desktop and select 'startup services'.

Sometimes it is > instantaneous or nearly so. AMD is Auto Mounter Daemon. This can be activated or not at install time, then you can activate it or not using linuxconf. -- Jean-Louis Debert[EMAIL PROTECTED] 74 Annemasse France old Linux fan

The mere act of faking an nfs server is probably the reason for it's erratic behavior, as conditions such as network connectivity, and other such variables become hard to juggle. Another possible cause is an error in /etc/hosts, as it heavily relies on this file.

Re: [expert] SLOW boot
How about auto mount demon. Your machine tryes mount something (NFS or something else) what it coudn't see. Check Your configuration about those points.

Re: [expert] SLOW boot
I have an AMD CPU and freaked when I saw AMD in the boot. My guru laughed and sent this terse message: "AMD is a daemon running on your system, nothing to be concerned about."

My boot proceeds pretty well until it gets to the starting AMD stage. What is AMD and why would it take over 1 minute at times? Sometimes it is instantaneous or nearly so. -- Gil Baron W0MN http://members.home.net/gbaron/ 44:04:55.9 N 92:30:46.206 W 1050' NAD27 "Hierro candente, batir de repente"
