It is a P4 2.4 GHz, ASUS P4S8X board with a 80 GB WDC WD800JB-00ETA0. I had a panic with X running and while clicking on a html link in Mozilla (ports version) the X screen froze (I assume it was a panic in the background - btw, is there a way to switch to an alpha vty when the panic occurs?) After that bad crash I got a background fsck while booting and the system didn't get after the point 'starting sshd'. Next tim it hung at "Local package initialization" I disabled as much as possible in /etc/rc.conf and /usr/local/etc/rc.d but still get these long hangs during boot. When I ^C out the system comes to login prompt and I see sh /etc/rc autoboot logger -p daemon.notice -t fsck sh /etc/rc autoboot sleep 60 Any ideas? -- Chris Christoph P. U.
