Hello

I am responsible for a net of ten Apollo WS which are
connected to an ethernet. It is a mixed environment with five
DN 3500 and another five DN 2500. In the net we got three harddisks
and all nodes are running SR10.2.
 There is a problem on one node and all nodes which are
booting from this nodes harddisk. If someone logs into this node
it takes about 40 seconds to get PAD001 while the same procedures
on other nodes only takes about 5 seconds or so ( I mean all other nodes
which are booting not from this harddisk ). Of course I have a nice view
to the Swiss Alps, but sometimes I'd like to get the PAD faster just
to be more productive.
 Someone told me to remove the /sys/node_data/hintfile and to reboot 
this particular node, but it didn't help.

Has somebody on the net any clue of what this could be ? 
Any given hint is very appreciated.
