I've had this before and gone into recovery mode to see if there is anything wrong with xorg config file but it is always just as I left it. What I do have on the machine is an NVIDIA AGP graphics card. Is this causing problems? Is there anything I can insert at the GRUB prompt to let the machine know that that is handling the graphics? Anyway, why should I have to!?! Surely, that's the job of /etc/X11/xorg.conf!!

If it used to boot faster, what did you do to it right before it started
booting slow?
