Slow Boot after 10.4.3 Update

Question

Hi,
I'm experiencing a really slow boot time after updating to 10.4.3.
This only effects my Dual 2.3 G5, the iMac G5 boots as normal.
It seems to hang for at least 2 minutes on the grey screen before completing the boot and launching the login window.
I booted in verbose mode <apple> V , to see where it seems to be hanging and this is what is on screen at the time:
Nov 23 16:07:04 localhost kernel[0]: IPv6 packet filtering initialized, default to accept, logging disabled
Nov 23 16:07:04 localhost kernel[0]: UniNEnet: Ethernet address 00:11:24:86:33:46
Then after almost 2 minutes it moves on with the rest:

I have no idea what any of this means or what is causing the delay in booting.
Any clues?

Hi,
I have the same problem. My iMac also hangs for about one minute at the same place;
"Nov 23 16:07:04 localhost kernel[0]: IPv6 packet filtering initialized, default to accept, logging disabled
Nov 23 16:07:04 localhost kernel[0]: UniNEnet: Ethernet address 00:11:24:86:33:46"
but with a different MAC address ofcourse.
I 've run the maintenance scripts and repaired permissions using Onyx but it did no difference.
Any other ideas?
