When my Mandrake 7.0 machine boots up, it will sit at "Starting amd:"
for about 45 seconds, the continue on. the service starts ok.
On another machine, their is no delay at all.
Anybody know where I can get more information on what amd is?
mike...
I have the same problem, except it takes minutes. "amd" is the automount
service that (guess) automounts your floppy, cd-rom, drives, and any
other device instead of having to type "mnt /dev/cdrom" or "mount /cd"
for whatever device you want to use. It may have been corrupted during
install. I
I took the amd service out of startup and my system works well.
I also made a shell script in the /etc/rc.d with the ability to
either shutdown or re-boot the machine. Then put a Kde lonk on the
desktop
to these scripts. My wife finds them much easier to use :-)
now i just need to find a way
