boot problem

Hello everybody,

I have a problem with Linux RH9 : I've to reboot the system 3 times to
be able to use my PC.
Infact the follow boot error stops the system and then I must reboot
the system :

ip_conntrack version 2.1 (4094 buckets, 32752 max) - 300 bytes per
conntrack

Can you help me please ?

That doesn't look like an error message, just an informational message. But
if that's where your boot is hanging, it is a clue to where the problem is.
It could be that step that's hanging, or it could be a later one that isn't
printing any messages.

You need to find the exact command that's causing your system to hang. Find
the boot initialization scripts on your system-- either in /etc/init.d,
or /etc/rc*.d (I don't know RH). Then do some diagnostics-- move some
scripts aside until you find the culprit, or find the script that's
executing them and have it print some messages. Try grep -r
ip_conntrack /etc/rc*.d to see who's using ip_conntrack.

Good luck,
Andrew.
