I've seen this recently as well - I use gdm. The only time I've been able to reproduce it every time was when I had spamd (from spamcop) enabled in /usr/ local/etc/rc.d - this led me to believe it was an rc problem. I do get the occasional one now, but is more an annoyance than a problem. I found out that whe it does it, before the X display appears, the console does not fall through to the login prompt, simply stopping somewhere after starting gdm (possibly before inetd, which usually chucks out an error message on my system because of a bad config file, which I don't remember seeing when it hangs). It is usually possible to log in remotely with ssh when this happens as well, but I found that doing a kill -9 on gdm-binary seemed to cause the whole system to lock up when it was in this state. Other than that, everything works over ssh. These are just my observations of the problem - hope they could be useful to someone who knows how this end of the boot sequence works. Mark - -- I apologise for my English - its my first language and i've spoke it all my life, but I still don't always make sense. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/07j+LqgJ90OcaiARAsW4AKCzLLwAS3LXpsIJm2bJaj2Rv9CzQgCfR2xx 3yFg5oTw8OlfGl0JosqRtxU= =Rb9g -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----Received on Sun Dec 07 2003 - 14:34:05 UTC
