Hello,
thanks for the excellent hint!
Later on that day, I tried a linux kernel without smp and the same
problem occurred. So multi-processors did not seem to be part of the
problem. That also brought me back to networking issues, since I heard
about 7.1 needing correct hostname and so on. But I couldn't figure it
out until I read your hint.
So I tried "strace -f ise". When the splash screen is over, I get never
ending loops of the following messages (it might not be cut at the
right part of the message...)

"ikoop.privat" is the domainname and the computer is in the
10.122.182.x subnet. So although I do not have a clue, what's going on,
I see that it seems to hang with networking issues. Probably "name
resolution" as you mentioned.
However, something must have changed in version 8, since 7 was running
fine.
I set hostname and domainname and the /etc/hosts with no success. My
Linux knowledge is at its end, can anybody help me, please?
Thanks a lot, Joachim
