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.Windows no longer obstructs my view.

In addition, studying /var/log/dmesg ought to help
