Re: CRITICAL: syslogd hangs (fwd

[Aaron Solochek <leko@cmu.edu>]

I have almost the exact same behavior on my slink system with 2.2.10.  It is
unpredictable, but yep, syslogd, and also lpd hang on bootup.  However if I wait it
out (sometimes like 10 minutes)  I get a login and everything seems fine, that
includes startx.  So if you find any solutions, please send them my way.
