Two of those problem are with kernel updates/graphics drivers, which don't have anything to do with internet connection.
The third one is unclear as of yet. Those are not similar problems, maybe only similar symptoms - which is a huge difference.

i am actually getting this type of error ,What happens is it will start the reboot process, but then it will just hang on a blank screen ie black screen on cursor so is it similar error i discovered the stuff when i connected to broadband my black screen goes n gui mode comes so actually this is same issue with kernel updates. ya i agree that it i wouldnt have connected to internet during black screen i wouldnt have discovered this new issue i would have posted.

n my heading would be like that as below

" black screen while booting after kernel upgrade " so similar symptoms but a new stuff i just found out .

You may find the delay is dkms kernel modules being built if the delay occurs on the reboot after a kernel update.

If it happens every boot then that's not the case.

I also have a black screen with blinking cursor for several seconds on booting. However, in my case, I am pretty sure it is because the kernel is scanning and detecting filesystems. I have 6 hard drives (no raid) and many partitions, so this takes a few seconds.

Point is that the system is spending that time doing something that it needs to do on every startup.

actually i just reinstalled mageia 3 kde and updated the kernel but still a lag is there the same problem started when i install lot of multimedia and audio apps from default mageia repos.
