    what do you mean by "GNU mode"?

    Also, i assume you mean RHEL5, if so, then you must have some support that you can call to get help with!

    Sounds like some hardware is going bad, it shouldn't take that long to start up, unless you have a service with a large application being initialized

    Hardware defect is a possibility, as mentioned.

    Another one might be:
    DNS is not reachable.
    Then each network daemon startup potentially takes ages.

    it may be a hardware problem. Did your your system is installed correctly i think its data bus being corrupted or become lose connection

    I would install bootchart, this will log the time each service takes to start and will give you diagnostics of where the fault may be. bootchart.org

    I have seen slow boot ups with network issues, classic one would be trying to set the timezone from a time server that is not contactable.

    You can also boot you pc up in a non quite mode:
    during the grub screen press e to edit find the kernel line and use the cursor to go to the end of the line, remove the word, quiet and rhgb ( I think if I recall) and it should show all the service outut. alternatively open terminal and examine the dmesg log.

    guys u almost find the answer to this problem. . .

    I am trying to configuring DNS and Http in my system, if i start

    #service named restart

    the system became slow. . .it takes more time to open a Open Terminal itself.
    But if i stop the named service it again became normal and the system became faster as like before. . .

    ok, so most probably your named doesnt resolve your (local?) domain(s)
    and/or dns forwarding is not configured/allowed.
