When my machine boots it hangs on as soon as the progress bar is displayed. I have had this problem before and I think it had something to do with my cd drives. The fix was to add something to the kernel line in menu.lst in /boot/grub, but I can't seem to find the answer anymore. Does anyone remember the fix? Every time the kernel gets updated I have to fix this.

Re: Slow boot
Verify (check) that the cd rom entry in /ect/fstab has not been set to auto (it should be noauto). This is also true if you have a floppy drive listed in your fstab file (I do). Basically, all 'removeable media' devices - cd/dvd roms and floppys - should not be set to auto mount. Doing so, and not having any media already in the drives, is going to cause issues.Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
