FC4-Dell laptop-very slow to enable swap space at boot

[tmoble]

this is a Dell 5100 dual boot with W2K, 40 GB disk. during the start up it hands for 3-4 minutes enabling swap space. It didn't do this with FC3 last week. Any ideas? this is a clean everything install to get over compiler issues with workstation install. I've already cleaned out rc5.d of some of the unneeded stuff. any ideas/ I don't see anything of interest in the logs.

Do remember that this is a Beta. I personally think dual booting a system is not a good idea with a beta, but we all do thing differently.

When you say "cleaned out rc5.d", I hope your not actually CLEANING out the directory as in the way that I am interpreting it, which is removing the files.
Try the ntsysv command in the CLI, or the Services GUI in XWindows, could help there.

Lastly, I would recommend turning off you SELinux. The policies are still in there infancy, and will need alittle time to be refind. Here are two ways you can turn it off.

1) Add selinux=0 to the kernel line within your /boot/grub/grub.conf file. Then, when you next boot, SELinux will not be started.
2) Add SELINUX=disabled to your /etc/sysconfig/selinux file (which may be a link to "/etc/selinux/config").

You call also turn SELinux off by going into the Firewall GUI in XWindows.

Mind you, by installing the Beta OS, you really should be refering all this to the Bugzilla list. Your now a Beta User.
