Fedora 16 kernel 3.2 really slow startup
 

Hello

I have a Dell Precision M60 laptop, 1 gig of ram, 80 gigs hd, running Fedora 16. As I kept doing the kernel updates, I notice that once I got into the 3.2 kernels, The system start up went from about 15 seconds(on the 3.1 kernels) to almost 2 minutes on the 3.2 kernels.

Any idea as to why or any comments, folks ?

Thanks

As root, run:

It looks as if the sendmail service is the culprit. Interesting as I only use webmail on my laptop.

Thanks

REMOVE that sucker! Show it who's boss! :)
