Sounds like it may be sucking down the news feed. Since you're on
a cable modem, it takes slightly less than eternity to do it. As
far as why the System Loggers section takes so long to start up,
I'm not sure -- would you send the following snippets to the
list?:
1) ls /etc/rc.d/rc3.d   (or rc5.d if you boot up into a graphical
   login screen)
2) the output of 'dmesg' immediately after a reboot

And again.

This is most likely innd saying that certain messages have expired
or been removed from the feed.

Then I would do as Clint suggests and remove the innd
package(s) from your system. A news /reader/ like nn, rn, or tin
is all you would need if you wanted to read internet news. Remove
those if you don't even want to do that.
