something at init is taking about 31s to finish

[<briand@aracnet.com>]

it almost looks like something is timing out, and yet the system works fine, so whatever it is that the process is waiting on it doesn't seem to matter.

i have a bad feeling it's the dreade ethernet firmware loading thing (just a guess) since that's the message that comes up immediately after the wait finishes.

There's no way anyone can help until i can get a trace of what's going on at boot.

Can someone point me to the appropriate log files or tell me how to generate them ?

Thanks,

Brian
