Boot Problems

I have an older Dell Tower running Linux version 2.6.32-5-686 (Debian
2.6.32-41squeeze2) (dannf@debian.org) (gcc version 4.3.5 (Debian 4.3.5-4)
). It is a headless system that just serves some web pages, php, mysql, and
a few others. It stopped booting, so I hooked up a monitor and keyboard and
rebooted. It ran into problems checking the disk, so I let it boot into
read only mode and ran fsck. I accepted all the defaults - there were some
damaged inodes, so I let it fix them. It is booting OK now and seems to be
running OK. The broken inodes were in some perl packages (late last night,
did not write down the package name).

The only strange behavior now occurs right at boot - it hangs a long time
(~2 min) at the first two steps after grub loads:
Loading Linux 2.6.32-5-686 - ~ 1 min
Loading initial ramdisk - ~1 min
There is only 1 gig of ram in the system, so the ram disk cannot be that
large! -
Ouput from top:
top - 18:09:05 up 1 min, 2 users, load average: 0.27, 0.16, 0.06
Tasks: 84 total, 1 running, 83 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 0.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.7%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st
Mem: 1032772k total, 176740k used, 856032k free, 6916k buffers
Swap: 2017272k total, 0k used, 2017272k free, 90536k cached

Is there anything I should do at this point, or just keep it running?

Thanks,

Mark
