I notice a slow Daemon startup

Hello there,

I just started using xen on a FC4 machine and installed a Debian(sarge)
in an image-file.

I'm able to start and use it and it is quiet fast but I noticed that the
daemons start very very slowly! So booting into the dom takes several
minutes but working with the running system is fluently.
But everytime I try to restart a service (apache, slapd, ...) it takes
up to a minute.

Any hints why or how to fix this?

so far for now,
Markus

try to peek into /proc/interrupts. If you see a very high interrupt load, you
might have misconfigured your ethernet bridge device.

Maybe you're right, most services start more quickly now, only OpenLDAP
seems not to work inside an domU. But according to google it looks like
a common problem concerning /lib/tls.

Has anybody here a working LDAP in a xenU-domain?

bye,
Markus
