My system keeps freezing during start up and shutdown ....

[yehdev_cc]

hi,
I've just installed F15 KDE Edition, and as the title tells, I need to keep pressing F2 and/or Enter to make the system go through the boot up process, otherwise it freezes as long as i keep it without my interference !!
and then it takes relatively long time to start the GUI, and when I switch to the console (using ALT + CTRL + F3 for example) and try to write the login or the password, there seem to be some 'bouncing' effect, that if I'm to write the login 'root', I get something like 'rrooott' ... however, this doesn't happen in the GUI .....

I have a multiboot system, with Windows7 and Linux Mint (based on ubuntu 10.4) installed along side. While Windows7 doesn't have any problem with my hardware, Linux mint has also some issues that cause the performance of media players to degrade (sound and video tearing) and cause repeated freezes to some applications (a game actually, 'wesnoth') until I press a key or move the mouse.

I have AMD Athlon 7750 dual core 2.7 GHz system, with 3GB DDR2 800 Ram, and embedded ATI Radeon HD 3200 with about 512 shared memory.

one more thing, when I booted off the live image to run the install program, I booted into the video failsafe mode (not sure of the exact name, but I think you got it, no mode setting) and passed the option 'noapic', so I suppose this options are still passed whenever I boot mysystem, as I get the text version of the progress bar during startup, rather then the graphical fedora logo ( i.e no mode setting) .... any clues ?

I don´t know if it is exactly like what you described, but have also veeery slow/hanging? boot process after updating F15 one or two weeks ago. On a Dell Latitude and a Acer Travelmate as well. Both are running F15 desktop/Gnome 3 and worked fine before i updated. Strange.

try to run a bootchart and see where the delay comes from.

identified beesu as the package causing this behaviour

after removing beesu F15 is fine again, but does anybody know an alternative to beesu like gksu?
