Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] runnix very slow--AstLinux 1.0.0
Shamus,
This is very weird, to me this is a 'syslinux' issue, but may be caused by a
corrupted download as Michael suggested. If you normally use a c7 image, try a
geni685 image instead or vice versa.
Other than that, your 0.7 runnix bootloader is using syslinux 3.35, while the
new runnix uses syslinux 3.86. We have been shipping syslinux 3.86 for fresh
0.7 images for some time. No reports like this.
Question, after syslinux finally boots runnix, do things work as expected after
that?
Very weird... Like the clock speed is 1000x slower.
