i've had similar issue when upgrading the kernel not a long time ago - problem was with vesa-ng driver (or vesa in general - don't rmember exacly) - i've had to start system from my emergency disk baceuse it hadn't been even possible to log in (60 s timeout was after about 1/8 s) - try to recompile your kernel with standard vga driver

I saw similar thing with Fedora Core 3 (underlying technology of EL4) on a HP nx9000. This was solved by appending a kernel parameter (from memory) acpi=off or similar. This stopped the machine gaining half an hour while running for 1 hour - 1.5 hours from memory.

in grub.conf

Finally the issue is fixed on the last kernel :2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp

No any grub change or service turned off.

Regards, thanks everybody.
