I am having a problem with FC2 that just started yesterday evening. All was fine the day before yesterday and when I started my system yesterday, everything was moving at an extremely slow speed. At startup, as the machine is going through loading all of the DSO's, each one of them takes an extremely long time (30-40 seconds) to load and there are a couple like sendmail and vsftpd that take 5-10 minutes to load. Once everything is loaded and I log in to the box, anything that I try to start, from file managers to consoles to text editors takes several minutes to load. I also tried using yum since this all started to update a couple packages and I am receiving a msg that says [errno 4] I/Oerror: <url open error >. Also there are 2 errors that show up consistently in the syslog since this started and they are; kernel: cdrom: open failed; and mdmpd: mdmpd failed; - there is also another error that showed in the syslog prior to this problem and continues to show since the problem started which says kernel: there is already a security framework initialized, register_security failed Kernel: Failure registering capabilities with the kernel I have no idea what is causing these problems. Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated. Mike
