[SOLVED] Imapd does not start (only during boot process)

I'm running a courier-imap server.
A few days ago I noticed I did not receive any mails anymore. Then I found my imapd daemon was not running anymore.
I then stopped the daemon process together with the xinetd daemon (which lets me connect to my imap server via my local network).
I restart from a terminal both daemons (imapd an xinetd) and ... everything is up and running ! Note that I have to stop xinetd too because only stopping imapd and restarting doesn't help.
I reboot my PC ... again no imapd anymore. During the boot process I do not get any error message though ...

I'm completely puzzled

The problem started when I upgraded to the linux 3.0.1 kernel ...

Re: [SOLVED] Imapd does not start (only during boot process)

I managed to get the problem solved by removing and re-installing the courier-imap package. Don't know why that solved it though ...
