I have almost the exact same behavior on my slink system with 2.2.10. It is unpredictable, but yep, syslogd, and also lpd hang on bootup. However if I wait it out (sometimes like 10 minutes) I get a login and everything seems fine, that includes startx. So if you find any solutions, please send them my way.
