However I'm having issues with booting I can't <br>find solutions to anywhere online (maybe I've lost my searching skills, <br>I'll keep
looking)<br>Almost all the time when I'm booting, on both my PC and laptop, from a <br>brand new USB 2.0 flash drive (formatted as FAT32, EXT3, XFS at various <br>points in time, just in case) it hangs for a long time, sometimes up to <br>about 5 minutes on "triggering udev events: /sbin/udevtrigger" The only <br>help I can find is on significantly older machines, often not even as <br>severe as my issue. Everything about the OS is as standard so far <br>including the kernel, my laptop doesn't even have a HDD attached (one <br>problem that came up) I find it strange that my PC and laptop are both <br>having the same problem, as far as I can tell the only similarity <br>between the systems is that they're both Core2 Duo and both have Intel <br>Chipsets but if this was the problem, surely I'd be able to find more <br>posts online asking for help with it.<br>Has anyone had any experience with Slax? Or knows what might be causing <br>this? It also hangs
(for a much shorter time) on some other parts of the <br>boot procedure but I can't remember which bits and I think that it <br>changes each time. It's only really udevtrigger that seems to be the <br>problem.<br><br>Thanks in advance<br>Nistur<br>**<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>dundee GNU/Linux Users Group mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:dundee@lists.lug.org.uk" href="mailto:dundee@lists.lug.org.uk">dundee@lists.lug.org.uk</a> <a href="http://dundee.lug.org.uk" target="_blank">http://dundee.lug.org.uk</a><br><a href="https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dundee" target="_blank">https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dundee</a><br>Chat on IRC, #tlug on dundee.lug.org.uk<br></div></div></div><br>
