Well I don't run X on this machine (it is placed in the basement), so I can't
tell right away whether X works or whether it works differently than a few
weeks ago.

However, in my case the machine does not boot fully. Some kernel messages
continue to come on the console once in a while (I don't recall which right
now). But apparently the machine has started rc processing, but not completed
it, as telnets to the machine gets 'connection refused' indicating that
IP is actually running on the ethernet, but inetd has not started.

I guess that I'll  have to weed  out elements from rc and friends to see 
if anything here hangs...
