Without "quiet" I still get no output at all for 2min 35sec, then normal rush of messages. Bootchart (very nice!) shows that the boot process itself is running normally, once it starts, about 45sec overall. The initial wait isn't shown on the chart. Once running, everything seems to be working. The entries in grub.conf are identical, except for version numbers. So what causes the wait? -- N James Bridge <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
