Hi, I'm trying to work out why Fedora 15 takes an incredibly long time to start on this machine (Intel Core 2 Duo T5500, 1GB RAM laptop), booting takes several minutes as opposed to F13. No custom modules, just stock Fedora, intel wireless and graphics, used preupgrade to go F13 to F15. I can try and provide more information, but I'm not sure where to start with this, any ideas? Some things that might be relevant below. dmesg, at the 'gap': [ 43.006805] sky2 0000:02:00.0: eth0: enabling interface [ 43.010915] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 43.044360] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: loaded firmware version 15.32.2.9 [ 43.111086] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: Error setting Tx power (-5).

Unfortunately those instructions aren't very informative: # systemctl status network.service network.service - LSB: Bring up/down networking Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/network) Active: failed since Thu, 26 May 2011 21:29:35 +0100; 7min ago Process: 882 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start (code=killed, signal=TERM) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/network.service Doesn't explain why it waits for networking at this point, nor why it attempts (or seems to attempt) to start several services after this, which seems contrary to the way systemd is supposed to work: Starting LSB: Starts the NFSv4 id mapping daemon...

Started LSB: Mount and unmount network filesystems.. etc., of course this might just be that it's not reporting these until after the network.service fail.
