Hi ppl, So here goes....I installed debian/unstable on HPnx9110 and
        almost everything works fine, except....
        1. The first line after lilo ('Loading Linux......') takes
        ages. The dots appear one after the other so slowly, it
        painful to watch it. The normal boot process appears to be
        slower than other computers too considering this is 3.2GHz,
        and other processes run fine and fast.

Try adding compact option to /etc/lilo.conf. Your lilo.conf should look something similar to

boot=/dev/hda3
root=/dev/hda3
compact

then run lilo at the command prompt as root.
