It is waiting for entropy to build.
Interesting -- what does syslog-ng need entropy for?
Moving mouse or typing on keyboard will speed it up but I have
machines only controlled by IR so this was not helpful.
Thanks, I'll try that.
I'm not sure actually. I only found it after 15 minutes of
troubleshooting while noting the time when things started/stopped. I
came across a log entry with something saying "waiting for entropy" and
when I noted when boot continued another entry like "entropy gathered."
Those aren't the actual log entries but what I "translated" the entries to.
Thankfully I wasn't scratching my head for hours over that one. I did
find if you left it long enough (my IR device would continue boot on its
own after 20 minutes or so) it would eventually boot.
Waiting 20 minutes for a MythTV appliance to start is pretty silly though.
