I agree with the general concensus that this shows all the symptoms of a network or DNS problem - though the switch from SIS to nVidia may have disturbed X. Did you change any system configuration (hostname etc) when you moved the disk? Is the 'production' environment identical network-wise to your test environment? Have you re-configured X to use the different video card? How are you starting gdm, gnome2 etc? I gather gdm isn't started via /etc/ttys but manually from a vty. I presume you are using gdm to start X. Can you log in from a second system? If so, what is happening during the startup delay? Does top show the system is very heavily loaded or doing nothing (all processes waiting)? Before you start gdm, can you ping your system by hostname? Are there any other hostname mentioned in your gdm configuration file? Can you ping them all? Have you checked your /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/resolv.conf? Is the output from 'ifconfig -a' and 'netstat -r' correct? Have a look through all the files in /var/log that have been updated recently and check for errors - especially XFree86.0.log, daemon and messages. Have a look in the gdm log file (I'm not sure where this is by default). Are there any messages on either the console or vty from which you started gdm? (Use Ctrl-Alt-Fn to get from X to vtyn and then Alt-Fn to switch between vtys. You can use ScrollLock and PgUp/PgDn/Up/Down to scroll back. Press ScrollLock again to get back to normal). Is any part of your system NFS-mounted? Is X using a fontserver? Are all these servers responding? Are you running a GENERIC or custom kernel? Do you have any firewall functions enabled? Peter
