Hello, I have noticed a strange pause after either loading modules or loading standard ACPI modules. It started happening after I upgraded to 2.6.27. When I hit enter, the boot continues normally. It does not happen everytime but 1 in 3 boots, it "hangs". My rc.conf is configured to load following modules forcedeth ath_hal ath_pci wlan snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page- alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore processor thermal cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_powersave powernow-k8 k8temp Standard ACPI modules are "ac battery button fan processor thermal", according to /etc/rc.sysinit. These two arrays have duplicates but modprobe should handle that right? Any help in debugging this problem is appreciated. -- Shridhar
