I'm still trying to determine exactly what is happening but the symptoms
are as follows:
The startup of OpenPKG 2.5's /etc/init.d/openpkg on Centos 4.2 when
starting in runlevel 3 (normal network) or 5 (graphical startup)
just hangs. There is no output or error messages.
Running /etc/init.d/openpkg start from a shell prompt takes a couple of
seconds and when booting I gave up after a few minutes.
The only solution I am seeing is to force a reboot, then boot in single
user mode and add an exit 0 at the start of the script, go back to
runlevel 5 and reintialise OpenPKG by hand.
The usual reason for extremely long startup times is that something that
requires DNS is trying to start before it can resolve addresses. The worst
offenders are normally ntp and amd.
