Here's a newbie longshot. I had trouble with a similar pause while
loading the scsi modules for my scanner. Upon loading the scsi module
would scan for devices (I think) and the whole system would simply  stop
(appear to have crashed) for 20s until it had finished. After the pause
the scanner worked and the system worked normally. 

Does your firewall script trigger the loading of any kernel modules?

Another possibility. On my RH9 box the iptables script runs before the
networking script. Is this important? Is this the same with your script?
Perhaps the firewall script causes a whole bunch of network
reconfiguration if its run with networking up?

Thats MTCW :>
