I have a big problem on boot.
My server, after runs services, before graphical login,
show me black screen, led of hdd turn off, and make nothing
until 3-5 minutes ...
and I don't understand what's happen !!!
On messages log there are some lines than executes their job employing
3 or 5 minutes.

At first time I have turned off crond service, to try better startup
and target the problem,
but the time of boot aren't better than previous.
Now I wanna try to disable mounting of floppy drive.

(sorry for the ignorance: I'm a Windoze user during day and Linux for
my free time).
