I have P3 500 256 ram 1999, Etch 4.0 but upgraded via sources.list to lenny. Since 1st upgrade the 1st boot of the day has resulted in 90-100% processor use on Gnome Desktop, other apps impossibly slow, also noticed reading HD is very slow compared to normal- the indicator light is seldom on. This first boot takes 10min to login then 5min to gnome and sometimes the taskbars are missing.
However restart or hitting the reset button without turning off results in a normal system within 5min then 1min, processor @ 10-15% on Gnome, all taskbars present and faultless operation.
I have run dmesg both on normal and defective boot and attach the result of the successful boot below, so this is a long post and I apologize for that, even after reducing the size to comply with LQ requirement. Unsuccessful boot info is removed from the post for this reason.
Having compared the results as best I can, there are some differences in order of operations but the significant differences appear to be
"EXT3-fs: INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem.
EXT3-fs: write access will be enabled during recovery.
"
about 80% of the way through the file, and another 8 lines or so of "SDA" messages immediately preceding.
The file contains my annotations <#....>.
If any of you have the time to look through this lot and see whether there are any clues to what is happening, I will be very grateful. Thank you!
