We're in the superb position of already knowing what hardware's present, which makes a lot of what the kernel does at boot redundant. A few of us (David Zeuthen, Chris Blizzard and I) chatted about extremely fast startup at Red Hat on Thursday -- can anyone think of issues with storing a copy of RAM at the point where the kernel finishes booting and using that straight away at next boot, having Open Firmware read it from the NAND? Mitch points out that jffs2 takes a few seconds to mount, so we might partition the NAND, and use FAT for a small partition with this memory dump in. Our startup time could drop to just a few seconds, and we could compress the RAM image. Has anyone worked on anything like this before? Any pointers? Thanks! - Chris. -- Chris Ball <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
