I had some similar problems (the long delay on boot). This was caused by the missing network service but using the networkManager stuff. But I user a ldap base user configuration and at some stage while the network is not up other processes tries to fetch user information from the ldap server. Back to your problem: what does your fstab look like and what does "chkconfig --list" gives you at the console? Does chkconfig network on change anything (if you use wired ethernet connections)? In which order are the services started (ls in /etc/init.d/rc5.d)? Martin > > Of course, why the screen scrambled the way it did is a separate > issue, and I've no clue about that. > > Anne
