Description Tejun Heo 2008-05-22 16:51:28 UTC 
SL110 ntp boot script now unconditionally calls ntptimeset before start.  If the network is not up yet, this hangs the booting for quite some time.  Another problem is that this happens before the ntp script prints that ntp is starting so it's pretty difficult to tell what's going on.

ntp-start.log

set -x log of "/etc/init.d/ntp start".  The script hangs at the last line.
Comment 2 Peter Varkoly 2008-05-26 19:46:12 UTC 
The problem is not the ntpd server startup script but the ifdow-Script of ntp:
/etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/50-ntp

This problem is fixed in #388980

I'll analize the problem with using ntptimeset instead of ntpdate to set the initial date.
