I think it is in /var/log Check for any "retry" errors or anything simmilar. When a HD is dying you start having retries and simmilar errors. Is your HD SCSI? If so see if your controller has a "verify" function and run it. This will check your HD for errors and will not damage your data. Be carefulll NOT to select the "format" option if one is present. >2) ping own host name >it slows to display my ip address! Any other slowdowns? If you only have slowdowns after bootup with ping and other network utilities then the problem may be with some change in your network/routing/dns configuration. How did you ping yourself? By a name, IP address, 'localhost'? Try anything not network related which you do often and let us know it performance. i.e. editing files, man pages you frequently read.... Try to think... have you done any changes recently to your configuration? In particular about the time you started to experience the slowdowns? Any new programs you have installed and get's run at boot time? Did you check your swap? swapinfo Good luck.
