[gentoo-user] boot gentoo in 5 seconds?
Dear all, Today I stumbled on several posts [1] [2] concerning start-up speed of Linux. Compared with the 5-17 secs posted in the posts, my (slightly old) Gentoo needs around two minutes from power button to DE idle. Are there any developments in Gentoo concerning this? Thanks, Liviu [1] http://lwn.net/Articles/299483/ [2] http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/ubuntu-904-boots-in-175-seconds/
Re: [gentoo-user] boot gentoo in 5 seconds?
depending on your platform. For asus eeepc has been developed a software named finit-mod which substitute init executable in the boot process. I am working on a finit-mod version for gentoo. Actually i use it on my eeepc with gentoo but there is a big problem...you have to avoid the use of init scripts.. regards Liviu Andronic ha scritto: Dear all, Today I stumbled on several posts [1] [2] concerning start-up speed of Linux.

I have a regular desktop box with Asus P5K-VM mobo + Intel Core 2 Duo : Bios takes 10 s , Linux start-up (Lilo screen to login prompt) 25 s after 'startx' KDE 3.5.10 takes 25 s incl 10 apps ; Fluxbox takes 6 s , but I have to start the apps by hand (which is very quick if you assign them to Alt-Fn keys). Start-up time is not that important for a desktop machine, which its user typically starts once/day while making coffee etc. -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT`-O--O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca

I've managed a 26s boot with autologin into my gnome session... You can see it in a bootchart[1], without autologin it could be of ~16s...

Mine is about 20 seconds (starting after grub, once Tux appears). I have 5 hard drives including RAID, and wifi, so this surely adds a couple seconds to the boot time. I have Core 2 E6600 overclocked to 3GHz, 8 gigs ram, 5400 rpm SATA hard drives. I haven't done anything special. And I am using rc_parallel=NO in my rc.conf
